My students are doing a Cinderella play on Saturday and we need some music to play while Cinderella does a dress change. I have been asked to come up with some Horse gallop like music because we aren’t really doing a carriage or anything, so it’s a change over to the Prince’s ball. What suggest you, fluther?

I suggest the William Tell Overture.
If you’ve ever heard the opening of The Lone Ranger TV series, you might hear what I mean. ;-)

I had thought of that one…Was wanting a group to sample from so keep the suggestions coming! Thanks Brian!

I think this is a very romantic even “Regal” song called Highland Wedding by Steve Morse. Just a beautiful song and has a nice march/procession passage at 1:30 and a killer guitar riff there too! Plus the ending has a “gallop we are off” kind of ending.

Something on a dulcimer might be a bit more appropriate?

You could play some horse gallop sounds with part of it…..
