Ringwood Lake Overture - Jerry Nowak

Here's an excellent overture which features contrasting tempos and solid scoring. You'll find it perfect for both festival and concert performances.

Rio - John Briver

Rio Bravo - Dimitri Tiomkin

Rio Bravo - Scott Watson

Rio Bravo draws on artifacts of iconic western film music to portray the rugged landscape surrounding one of the longest, most fabled rivers in North America. The challenging, arid region along the "brave river" that divides Mexico from the southwestern United States---depicted in many a song and story---is characterized by mountains, canyons, and desert plains. The river, known north of the border as the Rio Grande, has called to itself settlers, cattle drivers, gunslingers, and outlaws. Rio Bravo transports listeners to a time and place where legends of the Old West were made!

Here's an exciting overture with a wonderful western flavor. It's energetic with a driving and pulsating beat, and also features a memorable lyrical line set in lush harmonies. This will be a real winner at contest or festival. Fun to play and highly recommended!
