Description
This ode to the Wild West begins with a mysterious introduction using the folk song "All the Pretty Little Horses" in an eerie setting that will send shivers up the spines of performers and audience members alike. Brief solos for violin, viola, and cello are heard. The pace then picks up as we hear the driving and energetic theme of the Ghost Stallion riding through the moonlit countryside. The repeated galloping rhythm (eighth/two sixteenths) appears in stretches and is designed to improve your students' abilities to perform this all-important bowing pattern. This picturesque and educationally sound selection by Richard Meyer is sure to capture the imagination and improve the technique of everyone in both intermediate and more advanced orchestras. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Bro Richard Meyer is an absolute goat at making easy pieces sound absolutely amazing. Pieces of Eight, Legend of the Ghost Stallion, and Dragon Hunter are all great examples

oml this song took my class forever to learn it but omg, I miss playing it so much- we played it a bit slower and personally I thought it sounded better, but oml the "galloping" part is the best thing ever

This song was so fun to play, and doing it in District Honor Orchestra was such a blessing. I can't wait for the rest of my musical journey. We played this piece in concert today, and it sounded almost the exact same! Really the only difference was that we were shorter in our eighth and sixteenth notes, and we added a MUCH faster tempo only on the last two measures.
