Buckaroo Holiday was written by the famous twentieth centuryAmerican composer Aaron Copland. It comes from the successfulcowboy ballet Rodeo, which Copland composed in 1942. BuckarooHoliday contains many syncopated rhythms, and convincinglyconveys cowboy life (the word buckaroo is derived from the Spanishword vaquero, meaning cowboy). However, some melodious lyricismis also present. This fine transcription for concert band has beenproduced by Ed Keeley and certainly does justice to the original.
