Well howdy pardner! What’s saying you and me git us a couple bottles of sarsaparilly and head on down to yonder ballet and watch them bally dancers dance all purdy like?

Iconic American composer Aaron Copland wrote a number of ballets based on iconic American themes – Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid, and Rodeo. Today’s piece is the opening movement of Rodeo, titled “Buckaroo Holiday.” May it bring out the inner cowboy in you.
