Grand Canyon Suite

Album by Ferde Grofé & Stanley Black & London Festival Orchestra

Grand Canyon Suite is an orchestral suite by American composer Ferde Grofé, composed in 1931. The work employs a programme-style orchestration within early 20th-century American classical music, using vivid instrumental colours and evocative motifs to depict landscapes and standing as a central example of Grofé's orchestral output and of American tone-poem traditions.
