Celebrate a belated St. Patrick’s Day with Ralph Vaughn Williams’ arrangement of a beloved traditional Irish folk tune. Ferde Grofé’s 1931 musical portrait of that often-visited natural landmark in northwest Arizona, in which he depicts the painted desert and a long ride on a stubborn mule, is still the most popular of his many “Americana” suites.
