[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

I know, again with Copland? Bear with me.

This clip is from “Hoe Down” in the Rodeo suite (again…get. it.).

The first 9 seconds gives you the…pattern¹ (twice, actually) that interests me here. Around 9”, you get it with a winds I’m having trouble placing, but it’s the 12” mark that begins my favorite 5 seconds in the entire suite. I think it’s the only bit of fiddle² solo in “Rodeo” and I love it.

¹ My music vocabulary is a work in progress.
² Given the Copland-context, it seemed appropriate. (:
