Volume 202: Grand Canyon

We continue World Tour November with music about a location I’ve actually been to. It’s on the list as being one of the seven natural wonders of the world.  If you’ve ever visited that big hole in the ground in the southwestern United States, sometimes words escape you. That’s why we have composers like Ferde Grofe who skillfully describes the wonder through the lens of black notes on a white sheet of paper. I have been absolutely mesmerized by this album since I found it, especially since the five-movement suite depicts two of my favorite moments on that side trip. Which is why I’m playing the tunes out of order. So get ready to hear music as big, bold and beautiful as the scenery it was written about in Volume 202: Grand Canyon. More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.  Credits and copyrights Andre Kostelanetz And His Orchestra – Grand Canyon Suite Featuring On The Trail Label: Columbia – CL 716 Format: Vinyl, LP, Mono Released: 1955 Genre: Classical Style: Modern Composed by Ferde Grofé On The Trail The Painted Desert Sunset Sunrise I do not own the rights to this music.
