Imagine yourself astride your favorite steed in the English countryside in the company of like-minded riders. You lope rhythmically through the beautifully green valleys, hills and dales. Then you slow down to a walking pace as you admire a particular vista, but not for long, as once again you pick up the pace. You gallop a bit more and then end your ride with a big "hurrah." Such is the effect this charming piece for advancing ensembles provides.
