Description:
Ride tall in the saddle as you play this delightful cowboy two-beat piece in G major. Feel the gentle trot of your trusty steed as an eighth note "duk-a-Dak-a" rhythm is traded about by all sections but the basses. While mostly diatonic, the basses do have a passing D sharp in the A section, and there are a few E flats and F naturals in the moodier B section. Legato passages that contrast the clip-clop rhythm come and go as you progress through Rosin Up, Riders by Thom Sharp, conjuring images of the open prairie in this highly evocative piece. (2:00)
