Rodeo - Hoe-Down by Copland: An exciting introduction
Lemn Sissay explores the Hoe-Down from Copland's ballet Rodeo using facts and insight, lively animation and footage from the heart of the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Rafael Payare.
Rodeo takes us to the exciting, dramatic world of cowboys, cowgirls and the American West. This piece fuses evocative music and dance to recreate the feel of a hoedown - a noisy and riotous dance competition.
Once you've seen the introduction film, watch the full orchestral performance of the music in the link below.
