Description
A recording of “Western Suite” by Elie Siegmeister, performed here by the Utah Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Maurice Abravanel. Siegmeister often included distinctly American themes in his music, such as traditional folk melodies or bits of jazz, and the attentive listener might enjoy trying to identify those elements in this orchestral suite in five movements.
