Erik Morales. The mere mention of the name Copland suggests American music, and in many cases the American West. Most familiar is his ballet suite "Rodeo," but his film score to the movie "The Red Pony" is just as enjoyably characteristic. "The Red Pony" is based on a novel by John Steinbeck, and this version is taken from the suite Copland created out of his film score.

Incorporating themes from all four movements, this arrangement provides study opportunity for young string students in a wide variety of keys, tempi, articulations, accidentals, rhythmic challenges, and expressive styles. As is the case in the original, a violin soloist is featured as the narrator of the tales. No shifting is required for the second violin and viola.
