The brass and reed sections provide emphasis behind an off-kilter and loping waltz backdrop. When the trio plays the melody slowly and loping, it sounds like real emotion. Snow's loping, almost lazy run, of course, is sinisterly deceptive. In 2009, Taylor was loping a gelding one evening when the horse slipped. Ace leaves the premises suddenly with a policeman loping along behind them. Now it will do a 270-degree circle loping up the centerline of the arena. Loping became the preferred method of movement.
