Being a classical musician who has now ventured over to the folk side of things, I have begun a project in my spare time. My goal is to arrange Aaron Copland's Hoedown from the ballet Rodeo, for diatonic harmonicas (solo). If you don't know the piece by name, you might remember the beef commercial that included it and ended with "Beef. It's what's for dinner." It gained much popularity from that.
Anyway, I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do in most parts of it (I can't use it all, as some parts would just be impossible). However, I'm stuck as to which of 2 main lines to choose in the section after the one immediately following Miss McCloud's Reel. It is in the key of A. One is a little more fanfare like, while the other is much more fiddle like. What do you think?
