Colorado Trail

Colorado Trail

Many of the songs that emerged during the 1800s from what is commonly referred to as “the ole West” in most cases are authentic American folk songs. The origin of Colorado Trail is such an example. Some writers attribute it to a cowboy from Duluth, Minnesota but this has not been authenticated. This easy to learn arrangement has three settings. It features (1) a group solo in Part IV, (2) a duet between Parts III & IV, and (3) a four-part setting that closes it.
