The title of this overture refers to the Lone Star Ranch in Weilbach, Austria, where Missouri Foxtrotters and Quarter Horses are bred. The Missouri Foxtrotter, also known by the name Cowboy's Cadillac, is a calm and good-natured family horse, suitable for long rides. These horses originally came from Texas, which is nicknamed The Lone Star State. In addition to a romantic Wild West flair, which this ranch has brought to this region of Austria, this overture is influenced by folk music of different European nations, completing the picture of the Lone Star Ranch and its surroundings to create a charming musical picture.
