Wild West Hoedown Level 2.5

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.

Recored by South Korean rapper PSY, this stylized smash hit has taken pop culture by storm with a viral video (almost 2 billion views!), TV appearences, parodies, and even flash mobs. Make room for exuberant audience behaviour.
