 Re: Grofe - Grand Canyon Suite

William, I would argue strongly with that conductor. My personal opinion: Grofe was a superb arranger, but his compositional skills were not as wonderful. Hey, Grofe *taught* orchestration -- at Juilliard, no less. Did your conductor perhaps teach conducting at some comparable institution?

To me, GCS was the pinnacle of his writing... and almost the only thing he wrote which is nowadays still often performed.

Regards,
John
who might have been fired, but wouldn't want to play anyway under someone like that
