Western Sketches

Grade 2.5 - 4:12

Western Sketches is a tribute to the Aaron Copland's "Rodeo." Creating 2 musical sketches, the song paints the picture of the "lonesome cowboy and horse" in the first section of the song and the "bustling town" in the 2nd section. Trumpet feature at the beginning, with multiple short solos for other instruments throughout. Many parts are doubled making it playable by mid-sized ensembles.
