Western Symphony

It is almost a satire on classical ballet with imitations of Giselle and Swan Lake (second movement).

[2] The ballet originally had four movements: The Allegro is for four cowboys, eight girls (divided into two groups of four) and a lead couple.

The cowboy is chasing after the lead girl who eludes him and eventually, after some flirtation, leaves without him.

Hershey Kay adapted and arranged the music from traditional Western melodies:

Although the movements are entitled Allegro, Adagio (Waltz) and Rondo they don't really remain true to their titles.
