WILLIAM GRANT STILL Festive Overture
WYNTON MARSALIS Concerto in D Major for Violin and Orchestra
GEORGE ANTHEIL Hot-time Dance
FERDE GROFÉ Grand Canyon Suite

The spirit and beauty of our Land of Liberty are captured in these selections by four American composers who shaped the classical tradition from Still’s uplifting Festive Overture and Antheil’s musical circus in Hot-Time Dance to Marsalis’s sweeping melodies in his Violin Concerto in D and Grofe’s masterful depiction of the Southwest in his Grand Canyon Suite.
