I Ride an Old Paint is a traditional American cowboy song published in the 1927 American Songbag by Carl Sandburg who wrote that the song came to Western poets Margaret Larkin and Linn Riggs in Santa Fe from a cowboy who was heading for the Mexican border. He described the song as one of a man in harmony with the values of the American West: There is rich poetry in the image of the rider so loving a horse he begs when he dies his bones shall be tied to his horse and the two of them sent wandering with their faces turned west. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time. The song is found in Aaron Copland's ballet Rodeo and in Virgil Thomson's film score for The Plow That Broke the Plains. Gregg's version of the text differs from the Sandburg version suggesting an alternate source for the text contained herein. The original text, from Carl Sandburg's American Songbag of 1927 is printed on page 11 of this score. No actual metronome markings are in the original manuscript, nor complete dynamic markings. Editorial dynamics and tempi are in parenthesis.

Among the various instruments for which the Beautiful American Airs and Ballads series was conceived, the diatonic harmonica is a standout. With or without the ôbendsö played by the author on the companion online recording, the 19 plaintive, single-note melodies in this book are guaranteed to engage the player and move the listener.áThe music herein is written in standard notation and blow/draw harmonica tablature for the diatonic harmonica in C. Suggested accompaniment chords are also provided. Using the tablature alone, this music can be played on any diatonic harmonica in a different harmonica key; for example, using a G or A diatonic harmonica, the instrument itself will make the mechanical transposition. The chords, however, would have to be transposed by the accompanist.Phil Duncan has written more than 40 harmonica books for Mel Bay Publications. He believes that participation is key to the enjoyment of music, and that the harmonica and tunes in this collection are the perfect vehicles for that participation.ôTunes like these may have been overlooked or forgotten in this stressful worldùbut playing them will help you regain and renew the sense of calm essential to our identity as Americansà Pick out a fewàpick up your harmonica and enjoy.öùPhil Duncan.

The plaintive opening in Violin 1 (optional solo) then joined with Violin 2 (optional solo) at m. 9 suggests an early morning sunrise on the vast Western prairie. With each new section, the sun slowly emerges and rises in full glory at m. 41. The performance of Lonestar will be most effective when played broadly, with expression, observing all dynamics and tempo changes. To present this musical portrait more clearly, the conductor is encouraged to take advantage of the interpretive opportunities that Lonestar provides.
