This bright change-of-pace work evokes the toe-tappin' sounds of the old west as settlers circle the wagons round for a Saturday night hoedown. Featuring athletic, yet very playable fiddle-style tunes that wander throughout the ensemble, the music also uses simple double-stops and contrasting rhythms that keep things moving along. You might just inspire a few do-si-does at your local hootenanny!

This fun, western-inspired work utilizes two folk tunes to portray a raucous, spontaneous dance that might have taken place around an evening campfire. A smooth, peaceful introduction quickly gives way to a light dance tune. As the dance continues, the music becomes more complex and volatile before giving way to a forceful statement laced with chromaticism. Themes then combine in a final triumphant declaration and rip-roarin' celebration. Yeehaw!
