Hot sports news updates us about the latest performance of Anabelle Langlois and Cody Hay on “Sunrise� from the “Grand Canyon Suite� which is from Ferde Grofé’s orchestra. The latest update from the Winter Olympics 2010 at Vancouver is that the Canadian skater pair is at 9th place after their personal best score of 115.77 for their skate to “Sunrise� from the orchestra “Grand Canyon Suite�.
Hot Sports News Olympics report that the Canadian national level champion skater pair Anabelle Langlois and Cody Hay performed their best ever at the Vancouver Olympics 2010 on 15th February 2010. Their performance fetched them the best ever personal score of 115.77 making a total points of 179.97 to end up at the 9th place. Anabelle Langlois and Cody Hay performed on “Sunrise� from the “Grand Canyon Suite� which is from Ferde Grofé’s orchestra. It was composed during the period of 1929-1931. Paul Whiteman and his orchestra introduced the first public performance of the work, initially titled ‘Five Pictures of the Grand Canyon’, in concert at the Studebaker Theater in Chicago on November 22, 1931.
The specialty of the Grand Canyon Suite is that it has 5 movements or parts each of which evoke a particular scenic beauty of the Grand Canyon. The 5 parts are termed as “Sunrise”, “Painted Desert”, “On the Trail”, “Sunset” and “Cloudburst”. Sunrise opens with a representation of the moment of dawn in the canyon. The Painted Desert is a watercolor of impressive delicacy and subtlety. On the Trail is the best-known of the movements of the Grand Canyon Suite, the aural report of the day riding on the back of a pack donkey (imitating its clip-clop), beginning and ending with a great ‘hee-haw’.
Sunset is a nostalgic and pleasantly sentimental rendering of the most glorious of Grand Canyon moments, when the sky is alive with vibrant colors above the deepening shadows in the great gorge. Cloudburst opens with a sleepy recollection of the theme from ‘On the Trail’ in the upper strings. On to this scene suddenly come dark, scudding clouds and a rising wind.
The theme of the Winter Olympics 2010 at Vancouver is “One Dream” by Sarah McLaughlin while the ceremony music was composed by Howard Shore and recorded with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. So are you glued to the Winter Olympics telecast this year? Stay tuned for more on the hot sports news.
