Monument Valley is a region of the Colorado Plateau featuring vast sandstone buttes, the largest being 1,000 feet above the valley floor. Itas located on the Arizona - Utah border near the Four Corners area. Since the 1930as Monument Valley has been used as scenic backdrop for many movies about the American West. It's also one of the areas most popular tourist attractions. Do not rush the opening tempo, which should be majestic until the fast kicks in at m. 16. In m. 45 the standard dotted-eighth/sixteenth note has been replaced by an eighth, sixteenth rest, sixteenth note. I'm shooting for separation between the eighth and the sixteenth, and I found this to be the best way to notate what Iam after. I suggest you explain to your students that itas like the dotted-eighth/sixteenth, but having a staccato dot over the dotted eighth. Make sure they keep the rhythm crisp and donat let them drag the figure. Be careful not to let the students drag the quarter note triplets that occur throughout the fast section as well. At m. 63 come down to a good pianissimo to allow the music to build to its conclusion. A big ritardando at m. 74 sets up the driving (quarter at 132) ending!.
