Program Notes
Inspired by music from the classic Western movies, this lively work endeavors to highlight the more celebrated aspects of cowboy life. With Western-flavored melodies and driving rhythms, the music conjures images of the American cowboy at work or at play, be it the ranch, the cattle drive, or the rodeo. And with that being told, we bring you... in the true spirit of non-violence... Funslinger!
