Jennifer Higdon in 2014

All Things Majestic is an orchestral suite written by the American composer Jennifer Higdon. The work was commissioned by the Grand Teton Music Festival to commemorate the organization's 50th anniversary.[1] It was first performed at Walk Festival Hall on August 19, 2011.

In the score program notes, Higdon, who described the National Parks as "one of America's greatest treasures," recalled that she "jumped" at the chance to compose a work commemorating the Grand Teton Music Festival. She described All Things Majestic as "a tribute to not only the festival and it's [sic] home, the Tetons, but also to the grandeur and majesty of all of our parks."[1]
