Grand Canyon Suite / Mississippi Suite

Album by Ferde Grofé & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Vernon Handley

Grand Canyon Suite and Mississippi Suite are orchestral suites by American composer Ferde Grofé, composed in 1931 and 1926 respectively. They are orchestral tone poems that use vivid orchestral colour and programme motifs to evoke American landscapes and river scenes, and they date from the period when Grofé moved from arranging for popular dance bands into composing concert works.
