From the beginning of Unicorn Ranch, and revisited at times, there is a metric subdivision of the sixteen quarter notes in a four-measure phrase into seven, seven, and two. This pattern will soon feel quite natural after a few repetitions. There are several possible ways to conduct this, but a straight two-beat pattern is probably best at first. The accent patterns will drive the phrase. Major-seventh chord harmonies are used in several passages, so some half-step dissonances do occur. Balancing these harmonies will let these blend prettily. In keeping with the "Fantasy Western" style marking, many of the rhythmic patterns are meant to evoke a horse-like "galloping" feel.
