| Description: Buffalo Bayou Promenade is a rag depicting families and young people out for a stroll along the banks of the Buffalo Bayou, in Houston, Texas. The Promenade is in three sections. The first and last sections feature a step-hold feeling. The upper three parts are active and contrapuntal, while the cello and bass supply a rhythmic accompaniment. The center section, 'Moderato,' features dialog between the upper and lower voices and is thinly scored. Each part features left-hand pizzicato, overall producing a banjo effect. |
