10.12: Rodeo
Just as Bartok’s recordings of Hungarian and Romanian folk songs influenced his later compositions, a particular recording of an old cowboy tune had an impact on the “Hoedown” movement of Copland’s Rodeo . Listen to this NPR story on that tune and its transformation from a western march to an orchestral dance. To see what other folk tunes appear in “Hoedown” read the paragraph on that movement from the Wikipedia article on Rodeo . The link will take you directly to that paragraph.
