The Grand Canyon Suite is a suite for orchestra by Ferde Grofé, composed between 1929 and 1931. It was initially titled Five Pictures of the Grand Canyon. It consists of five movements, each an evocation in tone of a particular scene typical of the Grand Canyon. Paul Whiteman and his orchestra gave the first public performance of the work, in concert at the Studebaker Theatre in Chicago on November 22, 1931

Ferde Grofé’s "Grand Canyon Suite" communicates an infectious passion for the beauty of the Canyon, especially the allure of the composer's magnificent first impressions. His pictorial orchestration is emotional but that does not imply simplicity (essay by Christine Norvell). Emblazoned with striking black and white titles, the 1958 Columbia Records cover read GROFÉ: GRAND CANYON SUITE, THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA and EUGENE ORMANDY, CONDUCTOR. Breaking through the darkest of storm clouds, the barest sun lit the canyon’s shadowed edges. As a child, Grand Canyon Suite was the second orchestral record I ever listened to. My parents had owned it for a few years and let me play it on the simple box record player in my room.
