Saddle Up!

Check out this lively mix of traditional songs from the American West, colorfully scored for concert band. It includes “Red River Valley,” a unique, bluesy setting of “The Yellow Rose of Texas,” a jaunty “Whoopee Ti-Yi-Yo,” and caps off with a bright, boot-scootin’ “Cotton Eyed-Joe.” This arrangement is lots of fun for audiences and performers alike—a great selection to round up a concert program.
