Well, I have done Hoe-Down 3 times in the last 16 years with various orchestras. And I recall the following being the theme for "CBS Reports" (?) TV show in 1960s. (Numbers in parentheses indicate how many beats, of which this rendition has 4 per measure. Notes are in the octave starting from Middle C and going up, unless "low" is used.) low-G(1) | C(3) D(1) | E(1) C(1) E(1) F(1) | G(3) F(1) | E(2) D(1) C(1) | D(2) low-G(2) | low-G(4)

(ihnp4!zehntel!zinfandel!berry) I think Carl is referring to a very "Coplandesque" arrangement of this passage, utilizing (what sounds like) Copland's semi-polytonality (involving basic triadic chords with "inappropriate" notes in the bass register). I recall such a piece being used as the opening theme for various movies and television programs. Can anyone identify it? -- BRIAN: "You're all different!" CROWD: "YES, WE'RE ALL DIFFERENT!"
