This bright change-of-pace work evokes the toe-tapping 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.
Along with Morning Bus Ride and Lunchtime Jam, educator and composer Ron DeGrandis brings us solid teaching and terrific programming pieces to beginning level string students.
