Well...
...I originally set this tune up as a "challenge" to guess the story line behind it...and I truly appreciate the feedback...(Guy had a very nice story line)...
However: I've decided that the "challenge" might be taking away from the simple enjoyment of listening to the piece. Sooooo:
"El Jinete Solitario" (The Solitary Horseman) is the short story of a Mexican cowboy, traveling on his horse in the light of a full moon. He carries an arrangement of flowers with him as his horse steadily navigates the desert trail.
Looking up to the moon, his thoughts go back to "the incident", hours before, when he brought the beautiful bouquet to his love; the daughter of a rich landowner. With great pain and humiliation, he remembers the landowner, standing at the door with two very large men at his side, scornfully ordering him to leave the town or suffer "the consequences"...
As the memory recedes, he sees a campfire ahead. Looking sadly at the flowers, he drops them on the now cool, but still dry earth, and allows his four legged friend to lead him to the invitation of warmth and a much needed midnight supper...
