DESCRIPTION: Show Me Missouri! I. The Gateway Waltz (A Tribute to St. Louis) by Victor Labenske
The Gateway Arch, standing at 630 feet, is one of the most prominent features of St. Louis skyline. The arch was completed in 1965 as part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. Visitors may ride a tram to the top of the arch where the viewing area provides spectacular vistas of the city and the Mississippi River. The state song is "Missouri Waltz," lending significance to the style of this movement.
