Ragtime-style syncopations in this very catchy string work composed by David Bobrowitz, suggest the feel of breezily floating over a pleasant landscape in a hot air balloon. Accenting and adding playful elements to the joyful ride are changing meters (3/4-4/4) and an optional snare drum / wood block part.

This joyful musical ride is a great way for younger players to experience syncopation and musical imagery.
