Grand Canyon Suite

In 1916, Ferde Grofé drove across the Arizona desert with friends to watch the sun rise over the Grand Canyon. Fill in some pretty obvious details and fast forward to 1929, 1930, and 1931 and you get the Grand Canyon Suite and its' 5 movements - Sunrise, Painted Desert, On The Trail, Sunset, and Cloudburst.You can usually find a vinyl copy of Grofé's Grand Canyon Suite right next to Kristofferson and Streisand's A Star Is Born at your local thrift store.MP3: Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra Conducted by William Stromberg - Grand Canyon Suite: II The Painted Desert
