...occasion for all the special effects was the world premiere of Ferde (Grand Canyon Suite} Grofé's latest effort as a musical local-colorist, Hudson River Suite, in Washington, D.C.'s leafy Carter Barren Amphitheater. Its five movements describe 1) The River, with quickened tempo as it surges past Bear Mountain, and broad majesty as it reaches the Palisades; 2) Hendrick Hudson, the intrepid explorer, portrayed in horns and woodwinds and thundering percussion, often wistful because of his tragic end; 3) Rip Van Winkle, a clever description of the Washington Irving tale, in which Rip whistles...
