Colorful Colorado provides a musical tour of this western state. The suite opens with Aspen Leaf Rag, a buoyant ragtime number inspired by the colorful tree that covers many of Colorado's mountainsides. Technical challenges in this piece include a stride bass pattern in the left hand and heavy syncopation. Moonlight on the Slopes is a lyrical piece that oscillates between 3/4 and 6/8 meter. Flowing arpeggios and a delicate melody evoke the serenity of a moonlit, snow-covered landscape. The suite concludes with Pike's Peak Boogie, a loping boogie-woogie number that calls to mind the cowboys and pioneers who founded the city of Colorado Springs. This piece features an engaging combination of classic blues inflections and unexpected harmonies.

Not right for me
I am pleased with the other state booklets I've purchased and have admired Vandall's works for many years. However, I do not care for the moods or melodies of these particular pieces.
