The ballet "Rodeo" is based on Americana themes, and one of the favorites from this work is Hoe Down. This handbell version is faithful to Copland's original – it was reviewed in great detail by the Copland family prior to authorizing publication. The piece moves along quite quickly. The challenge for ringers is executing the accents and articulations precisely as well as crisp damping at tempo. Addition of the wood block and a few key changes add to the excitement of this amazing work. Played at tempo, this is a Level 6. What a treasure for advanced groups to include this work in your repertoire!
