AMERICAN HIGHWAYS #89: LANDSCAPES 10 “Canyons”

Tonight’s show will feature music of Ferdinand Grofé, Jerome Moross, Philip Glass, Hans Zimmer, and a Navaho PowWow song. This is Guy Livingston’s tenth musical show about the American Landscape. In this series, I am hoping to depict the grandeur and epic scale—but also the erosion and loss—of the American landscape. Ferde Grofé’s bombastic tone-paintings are symphonic flag-waving crowd-pleasers. This episode features his Grand Canyon Suite.
