Spirited rhythmic underpinnings support three great Old West songs in Stephen Bulla's ALONG CAME THE COWBOYS. You'll find a bonanza of great teaching tools in this Western extravaganza: phrase extensions, style contrasts, dynamic and articulation considerations, rhythmic counterpoint, and much more. What a great supporting assignment to have your students try to find examples of comparable musical treatments on their movie videos and DVDs. Head 'em up! Move 'em out!
