As others have pointed out, this piece comes from Aaron Copeland, an American composer from the early 20th century. It's worth listening to a classical orchestra perform this. Emerson does some improvisation of his own but he also throws in snippets of at least two American folk songs, Shortnin' Bread and Turkey in the Straw. ELP was amazingly talented. Greg Lake, the bass/guitar player wrote some really great songs like Still You Turn Me On, From the Beginning and Crest LA Vie.
And Hoedown is part of the Rodeo contemporay ballet, choreographed by Agnes DeMille. Awesome in the original, and ELP's version is stunning. I like to imgine Aaron Copeland would have been pleased to hear it.
With ELP, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the insane keyboard work and the immaculate percussion - and completely overlook what a fantastic bass guitarist Greg Lake is! It takes all three of them to produce this precision.
Lake was the anchor! He had to be a humble dude to remember the purpose of his instrument, and defer to the two giants next to him. But I’ll tell you, “From The Beginning”, is one of my favorite tunes all time!
I was fortunate enough to have seen them live several times in the 70's, my favorite Prog band. The Brain Salad Surgery album is great. Keith Emerson- key boards/ organs Greg Lake - vocals and guitars Carl Palmer - drums percussion Try listening to: "Lucky Man" "Karn Evil #9" and "Knife Edge"
Yes, Keith. Phenomenal keyboard player, if you had seen the guys in concert you would have seen wild keyboard antics. Whole instruments being flipped around in the air, and Keith never missing a note. Wow, what great shows!!
ELP often did their own versions of compositions done by both classical and contemporary composers. This piece was written by Aaron Copeland and they also do an epic version of his Fanfare for the Common Man. Three very talented musicians. Keith Emerson and Greg Lake are both no longer with us, dying within a month or so of each other.
I'm a Boston Bruins fan and I had the pleasure of listening to the Nutrocker by ELP every Bruins broadcast, it was the Bruins telecast theme music, I loved it. I think Keith was a genius at putting his twist on any kind of piece of music.
@@kathyratino962thanks muffins. Of course I knew that but it was nice hearing from you anyway. Flip me a line and let me hear what you thought of the song😊❤😊
ELP were all incredible musicians Keith Emerson on Keyboards, Carl Palmer on drums and Greg Lake on Bass, Lead Guitar and Vocals (when they had them). Other songs worth checking out include, From The Beginning and Karn Evil 9 1st Impression Part 2 there is a great live version of the Karn Evil song from California Jam on RUclips.
Saw them do this at the Anaheim Concert in '74 that became their album for that BSS tour. FABULOUS. Then we all drove an hour or so to see them the following night. Best group ever.
My favorite band, saw them twice in two nights, followed their trailer trucks from Providence to Capa Cod. Only concerts I've ever seen in quadraphonic.
I recommend listening to the classical piece "Hoedown" by composer Aaron Copland. It's a short piece, and maybe most famous for the "Beef, it's what's for dinner" commercials. But, hearing the original classical piece will help you appreciate what ELP has done with it.
Keith Emerson became my music idol when I first heard ELP IN 1971 when I was 13. He was and will always be the greatest Rock keyboardist of all time. The title track of this album, “Trilogy,” is more than worth anybody’s time. 🎹🎹🎹
They also do a Aaron Copeland song called Fanfare For The Common Man. Well worth a listen. Keith Emerson was as good as it got on keyboards. Not many could match him.
Keith Emerson is a monster player. for sure! All kinds a Moogs, Hammond Organs, piano, clavinet, you name it. Somewhere youtube stadium arena show footage of him strapped to his circus-huge keyboard rig, spin/flipping 20 ft in the air, with flames shooting nearby, quite a spectacle!
Been a a fan of ELP since I was 11 years old, I'm now 58. I heard their version of 'Jerusalem' and I was hooked. The original 'Hoedown' is from the Aaron Copland ballet 'Rodeo' and ELP broadened my musical tastes as I went on to seek out Aaron Copland and his works and also Modest Mussorgsky and the orchestral version of 'Pictures At An Exhibition'. You need to find the expanded version of Copland's 'Fanfare For The Common Man' nine minutes long and divine. Carl Palmer is an incredibly underrated drummer/percussionist, still going strong and still wonderful. Greatest band ever!
LOVE me some ELP, sir! Thanks for this reaction. "Hoedown" is a distinctly American song, & one of the best versions is by Aaron Copeland for the movie, "Rodeo". We hear the western/bluegrass sound "gussied up" for Hollywood. I love that ELP used the organ in place of "fiddles" (violins). I'm sure you've checked out their song, "Welcome Back My Friend To The Show That Never Ends", & of course, they must be visited at Christmas for the remastered version of "I Believe In Father Christmas" - my 2nd fave Christmas song. Again, thank you for reacting to this delight for the ears, sir!
A Hoedown is a traditional western/rural dance, often taking place in a school gym or meeting hall? Farm and ranch families from all over the area come to dance, eat, exchange stories, news and have a fun evening. The musical piece, Hoedown, was written by Aaron Copeland and is supposed to give the flavor of a western Hoedown.
They need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They were one of the biggest live acts during the early to mid-70's. A travesty they're not in. One of the greatest 3 piece band that ever played!
The guitarist Greg Lake is the singer and he was very good. He was in another band King Crimson. He's a bass player, but he also plays guitar like nobody. Keith Emerson came from a band called the Nice. The Nice and King Crimson were touring together when Keith heard Greg complaining about King Crimson, so they both looked for the right drummer, and Carl Palmer's name came up. Carl Palmer was from Atomic Rooster, and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown before that. I'm fascinated with the song 'Fire' by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown. ELP were a lopsided band, nothing they did really was definitive of what they were, they were like a folk singer with a classical pianist, and a heavy metal drummer. Some of the songs are mellow folk ballads featuring Greg on acoustic guitar. Some were instrumentals, and heavy songs with crazy screaming lyrics. Some was like Classical put to words.
All technical virtuoso they were the Maestro musicians of their day. They were the level of musicianship that all other groups were judged buy back then😮😊😊
If this is your introduction to ELP, you’re in for a treat. This was one of the premier bands of the progressive rock era. Keith Emerson was a concert pianist and perhaps the GOAT on keyboards. Very sadly, following issues with alcohol abuse, a divorce and crippling arthritis affecting his ability to play the keyboards, he took his own life in his 70’s. if you want some more keyboards with vocals and a lengthy track, check out Tarkus. Thanks for a great review.
Aaron Copland's composition work is an American band-class staple, to the point where my wife played this song three times in one year (marching band, concert band, orchestra). Reaction when I played this version: "WHERE WAS THIS MY SENIOR YEAR???" (Answer: Already out, just not on their radar.) I *think* this is one of the songs Rachel Flowers played when she got access to Keith Emerson's equipment. She is an astounding pianist. (She was part of a tribute concert when Emerson passed; listen to "The Endless Enigma" and then go look for the tribute concert version. She's note-perfect.)
How did you find this song?? I keep trying to tell people to listen to ELP but the people aren't listening to me. I'm kinda mad about it.❤I love ELP. They have so many great songs. Some really good ones you should listen to are...Karn Evil 9 Pt.2, Lucky Man, Knife Edge, Take a Pebble, and Still, you turn me on are a good start. ❤
Hi ! yes Keith Emerson R.I.P. his passing ended tha band. I was lucky to be from that era in my teenage years and saw them 2 times back in the 70s and 1 time in the 90s ! in Montreal ! all the bands i saw were in Montreal, QC. first one was Genesis and the last one was Rush !
I saw them open with this before it came out. The opening synth was played by dragging fingernail up Moog. Later it was programmed to be done on single key. Palmer just got a larger kit. I was second person in GA venue and the venue was a parking building. I remember knife thrown across stage past Lake and sticking in a cabinet.
The ELP composition I like best and turn up loud to test speakers is a classical Fanfare for the Common Man from Works vol 1. If your speakers can handle it at 80% volume without cracking they're quality speakers
Their Fanfare video at Montreal Olympic Stadium in the winter of 1977 at 20 below Zero F is incredible, I am absolutely obsessed with that video. Headphones as loud as I can get them. I have to put my dogs outside before I watch with the stereo speakers.
I've heard Copland wasn't impressed with ELP's rendition. The one composer that was actually thrilled with ELP's performance of his work was Ginastera. I guaranty that "Toccata" off of Brain Salad Surgery will blow your mind. To prove he didn't have anything dubbed in, Palmer had himself filmed on a stage by himself playing all of the percussion, tuned, bells, whistles, and all.
They did a great cover of Pictures at an Exhibition, composed by Modest Mussorgsky for piano and orchestrated by Maurice Ravel. I once taught a music class comparing the piano, orchestral and ELO versions. It was fun and taught a few of my prog rock classmates a little about ELO’s classical music background.
Yeah, they were all extremely talented Greg Lake guitar and base. Carl Palmer, drums and percussion. And Keith Omarsson piano synthesizers. The incredible sound that came out of just three players Yes, keith has the standard so is Palmer anyways Graig like as well he’s extremely talented on base and acoustic guitar and his voice so incredibly well wonderful They were out of the mainstream and so many way They created music they liked And they have incredible following still today. I’ve told All this years I was to see many other concerts live and it was unreal It’s time. Sometimes they were open up with this song Most bound would leave the song towards the end where they were getting tired. But this was just a warm-up song for the first song or second song. Shows incredible stamina. Will live on.
There are a couple of "Comedy" songs by ELP that most fans don't care too much for, but I still think they're good fun. "Benny The Bouncer" and "Are You Ready Eddie?".
Well ELP the magnificent Prog rock group has three master musicians. Hoedown was a composition by Aaron Copland again. Keith Emerson was a master Wizard on the piano, organ or Moog Synthesizer. There will never be another.
From the Ballet Rodeo, Subtitled "The Courting at Burnt Ranch", the ballet consists of five sections: "Buckaroo Holiday", "Corral Nocturne", "Ranch House Party", "Saturday Night Waltz", and "Hoe-Down".
The original of this song is by Aaron Copland (American composer 1900-1990). ELP liked to "translate" existing songs into our time and their language. The "masterpiece" in this direction is Ravel Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition".
Hi, Harri A Brit supporting his musical heritage. Try 'Pictures at an Exhibition' an you will hear Gregg Lakes' amazing voice and Mor of Kieth Emerson's outstanding keyboard skill.
Yeah, Greg did the bass and vocals so he's in there but not as prominent...they have a lot of great songs you should check out. And one of the only groups to use the MOOG synthesizer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moog_synthesizer in their music. They kinda took on whatever type of song they wanted and made it their own. They were active in spurts for several decades, Emerson and Lake passed away in 2016.
They were Good! Yeah Keith Emerson was keyboard wizard. Carl Palmer on drums. And Greg Lake confining himself to bass on this track. He does lead guitar and vocals on other tracks. It is a classic tune, but like so many of their covers, they give it the ELP treatment, and take it to the max. They closed the first side of their album with this rocker, just after the amusing western tale of The Sheriff.
You realise of course that this is ELP’s take on Aaron Copeland’s classic composition? ELP covered a lot of modern day classical compositions; Toccata by Ginastera, Copeland’s Fanfare for the common man, etc. these men were truly the “Musician’s musicians.” RIP - Keith and Greg
This variation is nice... BUT, you should look up Bela Fleck burn this up on a banjo with the Flecktones on Live at the Quick. This was termed "progressive" in the 70s and Bela's rendition is fusion on a banjo along with the best bass player around and Future Man on percussions with some horns thrown in to the mix.
ELP were true artists inspired by classical composition. You should learn the story of and listen to their version Alberto Ginastera’s Toccata. These men were musician’s musicians.
Big fan of ELP. Trilogy is one of the foremost prog albums. Such high energy is a bit much for me, anymore, but it's fun to hear one of my favorites again.
Try the title track Trilogy with the final song on the album Living Sin. Both listened to at the same review to see how great this band was. Epic talents.
Hoedown was originally an Aaron Copeland score done years before ELP. However ELP makes this song their own classic with their incredible musicianship. And yes it is Keith Emerson. Tragically he took his own like about 8-9 years ago. ruclips.net/video/LsReWx9XdNs/видео.html
Sadly, Keith Emerson and Greg Lake are no longer with us. Keith committed suicide in March 2016. Greg died of pancreatic cancer in December 2016. this particular piece is an interpretation of Aaron Copeland's Hoedown. You want vocals? Try "Pictures at an Exhibition". BTW Keith was friends with Aaron Copeland and even named his son after him.
You should listen to the whole album in one setting. Many of the songs blend to the next one. Do not listen to the last song on side B. I can't believe that song is on this album.......It's pudrid
Keith Emerson took his own life because of nerve damage that affected his ability to play. How sad. Look at what he left behind, and too bad he couldn't feel the same way. He put on a helluva show behind the keys, jumping in the air while playing. Peace

With ELP, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the insane keyboard work and the immaculate percussion - and completely overlook what a fantastic bass guitarist Greg Lake is! It takes all three of them to produce this precision.
Three men who only knew and loved - to play
The result can only be PERFECTION
Lake was the anchor! He had to be a humble dude to remember the purpose of his instrument, and defer to the two giants next to him. But I’ll tell you, “From The Beginning”, is one of my favorite tunes all time!
I was fortunate enough to have seen them live several times in the 70's, my favorite Prog band. The Brain Salad Surgery album is great.
Keith Emerson- key boards/ organs
Greg Lake - vocals and guitars
Carl Palmer - drums percussion
Try listening to: "Lucky Man" "Karn Evil #9" and "Knife Edge"
This was a fan favourite and was used to open ELP shows from 1972-74. Great tune. Thanks Harri. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Yes, Keith. Phenomenal keyboard player, if you had seen the guys in concert you would have seen wild keyboard antics. Whole instruments being flipped around in the air, and Keith never missing a note. Wow, what great shows!!

Keith Emerson is the greatest Rock Keyboardist ever, mostly because of his background nd his experimentation with the Moog.
Absolutely, with Rick Wakeman a close second....
One of the original prog-rock groups, and very highly under-rated.
They should have been inducted into that "rock and roll hall of fame" years ago but that so
called organization is so full of crap !!!!!
underrated? ... I wouldn't say that! lol
I respectfully disagree, not underrated. Fully appreciated, perhaps not played often enough, but totally loved by many many people.
@@devonvergiels5185 People don't understand the term "underrated".
@@devonvergiels5185 ELP were too good.
I recommend listening to the classical piece "Hoedown" by composer Aaron Copland. It's a short piece, and maybe most famous for the "Beef, it's what's for dinner" commercials. But, hearing the original classical piece will help you appreciate what ELP has done with it.
Great pick Dean! Another one they did by Aaron Copland "Fanfare For The Common Man" is one of my favorites too. Thanks a bunch
Totally agree.
There’s a video of ELP playing this at a concert in Milan. They just killed it. Amazing!
To this day, Keith Emerson is the standard by which all other rock keyboardists are judged.
Harri you really should check out some live stuff.
Keith Emerson is a master at his craft.
These guys were a big part of my teens in the seventies.
Keith Emerson became my music idol when I first heard ELP IN 1971 when I was 13. He was and will always be the greatest Rock keyboardist of all time. The title track of this album, “Trilogy,” is more than worth anybody’s time. 🎹🎹🎹
This is from the ballet "Rodeo" by Copland. ELP also ventured into aanother cover of symphonic music with their album "Pictures at an Exhibition."
They have so much more to offer!!!
They also do a Aaron Copeland song called Fanfare For The Common Man. Well worth a listen. Keith Emerson was as good as it got on keyboards. Not many could match him.
The 'Hendrix of the Hammond'.

“Take A Pebble,” “Mussorgsky’s “Pictures At An Exhibition,” “The Barbarian.”

The original classical orchestral version by Aaron Copland is also terrific.
If you look at some of the live recordings, you’ll notice that Carl Palmer (drums) is always looking at what Keith Emerson (keyboards) is doing.
IMO. The three greatest keyboardists are Keith Emerson (ELP), Rick Wakeman (Yes), and Rick Wright (Pink Floyd)

Great music. Glad someone is actually listening to ELP. If you like this try "Honky Tonk Train Blues" by Keith Emerson
Stellar analysis Harri. Thanks!
Yeah, they were all extremely talented Greg Lake guitar and base. Carl Palmer, drums and percussion. And Keith Omarsson piano synthesizers.
The incredible sound that came out of just three players
Yes, keith has the standard so is Palmer anyways Graig like as well he’s extremely talented on base and acoustic guitar and his voice so incredibly well wonderful

Big fan of ELP. Trilogy is one of the foremost prog albums. Such high energy is a bit much for me, anymore, but it's fun to hear one of my favorites again.
Give 'Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Knife Edge' a try
Try the title track Trilogy with the final song on the album Living Sin. Both listened to at the same review to see how great this band was. Epic talents.
You ought to hear the live version.Lightning quick.
EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER, MY FIRST LOVE!!👍
Bro, explore FRANK ZAPPA!!!!!
try THE MUFFIN MAN, OR
WHIPPING POST by him!!
Trust me😉
If you get a chance, watch the video of the song Rondo. You'll see ELP at their performance best.
Harri, i urge you to react to ELP's " Trilogy " , a song in 3 parts that has everything.
The live version is also very good.nutrocker is good one to check out.
Only comment....listen to the rest of the album
Hoedown was originally an Aaron Copeland score done years before ELP. However ELP makes this song their own classic with their incredible musicianship. And yes it is Keith Emerson. Tragically he took his own like about 8-9 years ago. ruclips.net/video/LsReWx9XdNs/видео.html
ELP # 1.....period !
This was written by Aaron Copeland--American composer from the 20th century
Did i hear a little bit of Turkey in the Straw towards the end? That song was from early 1900's
Yes, you did.
Should listen to the live version
When it comes to this style keyboard and synthesizer no one has faster fingers then Keith Emerson or Rick Wakeman.
I agree; it’s too short!
Sadly, Keith Emerson and Greg Lake are no longer with us. Keith committed suicide in March 2016. Greg died of pancreatic cancer in December 2016. this particular piece is an interpretation of Aaron Copeland's Hoedown. You want vocals? Try "Pictures at an Exhibition". BTW Keith was friends with Aaron Copeland and even named his son after him.
Sounds like a Rodgers and Hammerstein song from State Fair or Oklahoma!. Musicals that nobody admits to liking.
YOU WANT TO HEAR THEIR MUSIC EVEN BETTER, DO IT IN A COMPLETED BLACKED OUT ROOM
Did you notice that the first name of the band is EMERSON???? Hello??? BUT it took all 3 to make it happen
The title track is very good. Trilogy
Keith Emerson,bro!
And then they played it three times faster live lol
You have to try ELP Watching over you
Brain salad wass my goto
You should listen to the whole album in one setting. Many of the songs blend to the next one. Do not listen to the last song on side B. I can't believe that song is on this album.......It's pudrid
Rad Harri ....you're over the target .
Keith Emerson took his own life because of nerve damage that affected his ability to play. How sad. Look at what he left behind, and too bad he couldn't feel the same way. He put on a helluva show behind the keys, jumping in the air while playing. Peace
I highly doubt he took his life because of nerve damage...thats quite a conclusion to come to
@@atombomb31458 sad but true. He was depressed since he couldn't play anymore
@@atombomb31458 It's true.
Enough talk!Get back to the jam.
About 5 minutes too long🤔
Give a listen to the Tarkus album, wild stuff!
