A unique collection of exciting and varied music suitable for the early grades.

In this symphonic poem George Gershwin portrays a day in the life of an American tourist in Paris. The music accompanies him along the Champs Elysées and through the Latin Quarter where he becomes - in the form of a blues - overwhelmed by homesickness.
