I lived and worked at Grand Canyon National Park (south rim) for 6 years. At least once a year during the spring I would sit on the canyon rim and listen to this piece as the sun came up. Bucket list item... complete.

I was a freshman in high school in 1955. I registered late and was given a list of electives, all were filled except for "Men's Glee Club". I had no idea what a Glee Club was, but I knew what "glee" meant. I thought it was a party class, so I signed up. I was horrified, along with a few other guys, to discover it was a class on music and singing. I practically hid in the shadows when I left class the first day so nobody would see me leaving the "girlie class". The teacher was a man named Norman Reidel and he knew the mind of young guys. The music he played was Irish and American folk songs of the wars and winning the west, like "The Streets of Loredo". He also played classical music that I remember to this day. The Grand Canyon Suite was particularly imprinted on my mind as he described a vision of the Grand Canyon as the sun came up and the mules walking the trail. I visited the Grand Canyon decades later and . . . there it was. The Grand Canyon Suite! Thank you Mr. Reidel. You opened eyes that never closed over the decades.

The first time I saw the Grand Canyon I had a recording of The Grand Canyon Suite on the car's tape player. As we drove into the parking lot at the South Rim I did not look at the Canyon. Instead I had my friend lead me with my eyes shut to the wall at the rim. When I was situated at the wall she told me to open my eyes. I could not believe what I was looking at. Such beauty, such grandeur. Never before had I seen such a sight. When I was able to turn away we then brought the car as close to the wall as possible, turned on the tape and listened to the complete Suite while drinking in the unbelievable creation before us. I know I cried.

What a lovely story, Dominic. I've been around and down it a few times, and it never ceases to thrill. And the changing light and the angles you can view the Canyon from, the make it look so different! One of the most interesting views was an airliner flight from Minneapolis to Palm Springs. We went right over it and you could look straight down. Towering. There's so much to see in that area--Meteor Crater, the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, and further east Monument Valley. But the Grand Canyon is still #1.

For years you couldn't find recordings of Ferde Grofe anywhere, except in 2nd hand music shops or specialists ones. Friends living nearby in the 1950s, had a super Hi Fidelity setup and they would play this music loudly to demonstrate the quality. I was enthralled. Here it is again, for me and thank you so much marchan1374, it takes me back to that time, musically and nostalgically.

Maybe someone can relate. My parents had this LP in 63. It had fantasia of greenslaves on one side and grand canyon suite on the other. Vaughn Williams was the conducxtor of Philadelphia orchestra. From the first time I heard (both sides) I was addicted to it. I must have played 'both sides' a million times. The LP was eventually totally worn out through my mis handling. I now play it here on you tube with my computer that has a nice sound system... Like other people here, my kids and wife think (know) I'm crazy... Seems like amny others here have had the same early exposure to this music. Has anyone heard fantasia on Greensleaves?

I remember playing this over and over again when I was 11 or 12--not long after this was released. I was transfixed by the beauty of the sound and my imagination of the sight that the music elicited.

@tree96168 жыл бұрын
+Cathy Kelley, LOVE your comment. I did this, too. I'd turn it up, lay on the floor, close my eyes, and let the music "take me there." I absolutely LOVED this whole suite. I also loved the Mississippi Suite, too, but not as much as the GCS. Not long after Dad introduced me to this, we actually got to see the real Grand Canyon (in 1960). Only spent 1 nite there, but ... also got to see the GC and Monument Valley within the same 2 days. This was so awe-inspiring for a 9-10 yr. old kid (at that time). This music has definitely brought back to mind a happier, more simple time.

When we moved from Iowa to Arizona in the late fifties, GCS was mandatory listening for school kids. Our school participated in "Music Memory", an annual event to encourage children to listen carefully to classical music. Grofe was on the list along with Bizet, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, etc. I've always thought that Grofé was more a jazzman. If the music teacher had known this was "jazzy", she would have rolled over in her corset.

Rolling inside your corset would be worth seeing. Seriously. A wise choice for kids to be introduced to serious music. He faded from fashion for decades and was rediscovered, like so much more recent comps. People are marvelling at what they have found, which was lost. He deserves his place along with all the others who, in their time/s were also considered vulgar, etc.etc.

He was there for just one season, 1957-58, just when this recording was made!

By the way, has anyone ever compared this piece to the much earlier tone poem by Borodin "In the Steppes of Central Asia".? They share many features: the high harmonic chords in the strings in the introduction, the walking hoofbeats, the basic shape of the first main theme. Perhaps this is well known but I've never heard anyone else make the observation.

The best version of this work ever recorded. Ormandy understood Grofe, and this piece. He brought it to life like no one ever has. Technically, you could run this through a noise filter to remove the 'hiss' but then you would lose the 'breadth' of sound. That must have been a difficult decision to make, but you made the right one! Thank you!

Reading the Book JACKIE… I read she had this preformed at the White House. So I wanted to hear it… crazy how I can feel or put myself there and visualize the time. Ahe qas re-decorating the White House of course. This beautiful piece must have inspired her!

This is a very good piece by Grofe, who was an the extremely prolific composer. It was by far his best known work, but he wrote a lot more. Besides Ormandy and the Phila. Orch., it was also recorded by Toscanini and the NBC Symphony. They played it at Carnegie Hall with the composer present. Also recorded by Bernstein and the NY Phil. and Grofe himself with the Rochester Phil., as well as Antal Dorati, Erich Kunzel, Howard Hanson, Morton Gould, Gerard Schwartz and several others. See the list of pieces by Grofe here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jstnqqZera2agoU.html

Here's a question for all of you who were amazed that this was still out there.he album had the Grand Canyon suite,but what was the other side.God if you know please tell me,it's driving me crazy. All I can remember was that the music while not a copying effort,but it was of the same power up and calms.

I hope you enjoyed the suite,I hadn't heard it in years so when I saw the original sleeve for the album,I thought if anyone would remember it would be those who liked this particular recording.

I have several recordings of this, but this one {Ormandy, vinyl) is my favorite. Is it on CD?

I wish the youth of today were exposed to this music. I grew up with it playing on my Hi Fi and my young sons were exposed to it but maybe not impressed. I had this on Vinyl in 1958 but sadly my record collection is now gone. My grandchildren get annoyed with me when I play music at performance volume and rush to turn the volume down. They are so used to hearing their music on a phone or other modern devise they have no understanding of real orchestra sound.

That's sad. Have you considered a good set of studio headphones? Preferably closed not over the ear nor ear buds. Sennheiser, Sony and Bose makes some good headphones Good luck consider studio quality headphones.

No surface noise from the LP? How did you do that? (BTW, I have that LP -- it's a bit noisy from many plays.)

A nice version. This is a piece of music that needs a very good balance between all players and sections, which probably is the reason many a recording sounds somewhat rough around the edges. The opening part (Sunrise) in this version is for instance more disciplined and less "all over the place" then Bernstein's rendition. Pity for that miss in the trumpets at it's very end though. Sounds like someone went for the final outburst a few measures to soon (4:57 min). :-)

LOL and I thought I was the only one who caught that! Ormandy knew how to keep them in line, that's for sure.

Yes, before the age of digital recording minor errors, such as noted, were often kept "in" as opposed to going the expense of rerecording. Nowadays, an audible error can be easily "fixed" in the recording booth!
