Trip Through the Grand Canyon, also known as CANYON.MID, is a MIDI song composed by George Stone in 1990 when he was the chief MIDI Producer for Passport Designs. The song became popular because of its inclusion in Windows when it was first released with Windows 3.0 with Media Extensions and was included in most of the Windows releases up until 2000.
The song was originally composed for Passport Designs for use in their various programs, but when the company was going out of business, they sent the MIDI file to Microsoft to try to keep the company running. Stone wasn't even aware about the use of his song until he was told about it. He tried to acquire the rights to the song, but unfortunately, Passport Designs had already given them to Microsoft and he had previously signed a contract with Passport Designs granting them the exclusive rights to the song. Stone tried to contact Microsoft in a final effort to at least get credit on the song, but by this time, Passport Designs was already owned by G-Vox and he decided not to bother with the issue any longer.
Ironically, this iconic Windows song was composed on the Macintosh program, Master Tracks Pro.
