1. Hoedown from Rodeo
2 years ago
I created a music video for the Classical music work 'Hoedown' from the Rodeo Suite by Aaron Copland. It is a stop motion animation in which various characters, inspired by Cowboy and Western films, come to life from the musical score. It was made for my final year degree in Visual Communication at the Glasgow School of Art.

I am a composer myself, film and concert music, and therefore I am a fan of Copland. Great, great job!
However, FYI...
...A "hoedown" is not typically related to "cowboy-like" western part of the US's cultural entertainment... specially with regards to ranching (not too be confused with farming).
Hoedowns are more related to farming based Southcentral and Southeastern part of the US - specially the Appalachian areas of the US. Unfortunately, there are many urban and eastern interpretations of associating a 'hoedown" being anything western... and, as a result there were numerous older east coast originated musicals/movies that mistakenly use the term "hoedown" as related to anything south or west of the east or northeast coast - including the central high plains ranching areas.
In fact, the music you choose by Copland is titled
"Hoedown" ... which probably explains the title to your video. But... this is a classic early 40's misinterpretation of the use of term hoedown to be associated with cowboys. Regardless, the re-make of this Copland song must have been choosen by the beef industry's marketing because it just sounds good (...And, a sidenote is that Beef Industries version omits the typicall heavy fiddle sound of hoedown music and replaced it with Coplan's violin orchestra style of playing - thereby reducing it's more hoedown-like sound).
All that being said... you made a very enjoyable music and animation.
(Aaron Copland - Brooklyn born jewish composer who studied Music in Europe... admired Russian Composers and did travel to Mexico and Africa to study music... but, spent most of his life in New York).
Thanks for the comment - that stuff about the misinterpretation of the term 'hoedown' is really interesting!
I'm glad you found the animation enjoyable.
