Description:
This work, which uses "The Oxen Song," is said to have been written by Larry Gorman, a famous lumberjack. Written in the style of J. S. Bach, this piece shows the varied backgrounds (Irish, French, Canadian and Yankee) of the Ox teamsters, the people who were in charge of the oxen and horses that were used for driving logs on the river. A refreshing addition to the string repertoire.
