The four movements of Great Smoky Mountains take the listener on a visit to scenic panoramas throughout the national park. The first movement, Great Smoky Mountain Splendor, captures the vibrant colors of the fall foliage with grand gestures that span the range of the keyboard. In Towering Mount Mitchell, the second movement, an expressive legato right-hand melody, with interesting harmonic support in the left hand, captures the summit with its forest and plants. The third movement, Ballad of Cades Cove, is in the key of A minor with melodic interest in both hands and depicts the historic buildings in this green valley. A left-hand ostinato figure in the fourth movement, The Potter's Wheel, represents the turning of the wheel when skilled local craftsmen create ceramic wares.

This series offers students an appealing variety of styles in a single album. A brief paragraph of background information is provided for most pieces. All books include a CD with orchestrated accompaniments. Each piece has two tracks: one at performance tempo and one at practice tempo. An optional duet accompaniment, based on the orchestration, is included for all pieces at the early levels. The intent of the CD is to provide an incentive with a demonstration of the finished piece. The slower practice tempo assists the student in maintaining a steady beat, using the correct rhythm and gaining valuable ensemble experience while making practice more fun. This volume includes 12 favorites: The Entertainer * Hail to the Chief * Hallelujah Chorus * New Boogie * Peacherine Rag * Pomp and Circumstance * Scarborough Fair * Semper Fidelis * Sourwood Mountain * Stars and Stripes Forever * Symphony No. 39 * Wearing of the Green.
