Such a whimsical way of depicting a valuable part of our history. I would love to see animation set to this music.
Wonderful. Grofe was the master at composing descriptive suites such as this.
Well...quite like some of his other suites, but won't mind if I don't hear this one again !
It is like a black and white film's soundtrack
There's a newer recording of this with a full orchestra where the Motor City section sounds really astounding.
I have a 78 RPM recording of this suite conducted by the composer and autographed by him.
i'm jealous...
Was this a transfer from an old radio broadcast? I was just rather amazed because I never knew of any recording of this piece other than the one from the 1980s, conducted by Jan Stulen. When is THIS recording from, and who conducted?
Grofe conducted, crica 1946.
@@savio807 Astonishing quality of transfer!
Have your librarian post the question on the MOLA website.
Does anyone know if the full score for this is available anywhere? I do have the sheet music for a piano arrangement, but would like the actual orchestral score.
I did manage to contact the composer's son about this years ago, and the details are now vague in my mind, but I recall even he couldn't answer this.
I just wonder if anything has come to light about this more recently. I would appreciate any information anyone could please supply about this. Thanks.
+stackedactor1 Thanks for that; I will look into it. I wonder if the Library will supply copies of items to someone outside the U.S. (I am in Australia) - of course I would expect to pay the costs of doing this. I was supplied a photocopy of a score years ago by a library in the U.S., but it was definitely only a piano reduction - I wonder if that was from the Library of Congress - I don't quite recall now. Anyway, I will look into what they have now, so thanks for letting me know.
Anyone know where to get parts for this piece? The librarian at our orchestra has been having trouble locating.
