Red River Valley Sheet Music by American Folk Song

This is one of those love songs which traveled west with the Pioneers, and thus the Bright Mohawk Valley of New York State became the Red River Valley. Attention to the unrelenting rhythm of the horses' hooves (and the suggested sound effects which compliment this) will bring this beautiful, poignant melody to life for both your performers and your audiences. NB: This tune, played and sung up-tempo, is also used as a well-known square dance.
