Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is a beautiful recital suite by Catherine Rollin written at the intermediate level. The first movement is entitled Canyon Sunrise and depicts the beauty and awe of experiencing a sunrise at the Grand Canyon. The flowing melody symbolizes the birds flying freely over the canyon. The second movement is entitled Bright Angel Trail and is about a trail that follows the natural break in the cliffs that were formed by the Bright Angel Fault. The third movement is entitled The Canyon's Raging River and showcases dramatic dynamics and intricate phrasing.
