Chestnut Mare

"Chestnut Mare" is a song by the American rock band The Byrds, written by Roger McGuinn and Jacques Levy during 1969 for a planned country rock musical named ''Gene Tryp''. The musical was never staged and the song was instead released in September 1970 as part of The Byrds' ''(Untitled)'' album. It was later issued as a single, peaking at number 121 on the ''Billboard'' singles chart and number 19 on the UK Singles Chart.
==Composition==
Throughout most of 1969, The Byrds' leader and guitarist, Roger McGuinn, had been writing songs with psychologist and Broadway impresario Jacques Levy for a country rock stage production of Henrik Ibsen's ''Peer Gynt'' that the pair were developing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=ByrdWatcher: A Field Guide to the Byrds of Los Angeles )〕 The intended title for the musical was ''Gene Tryp'', an anagram of the title of Ibsen's play. McGuinn and Levy's production was to loosely follow the storyline of ''Peer Gynt'', albeit with some modifications to transpose the story from Norway to south-west America during the mid-19th century.〔 Ultimately, the ''Gene Tryp'' stage production was abandoned and among the twenty-six songs that McGuinn and Levy had written for the project, six (including "Chestnut Mare") would end up being released on The Byrds' ''(Untitled)'' and ''Byrdmaniax'' albums.
"Chestnut Mare" was intended to be used during a scene in which the play's eponymous hero attempts to catch and tame a wild horse, a scene that had featured a deer in Ibsen's original.〔 While the majority of "Chestnut Mare" had been written specifically for ''Gene Tryp'', the musical accompaniment to the song's Bach-like middle section had actually been written by McGuinn back in the early 1960s, while on tour in South America with the Chad Mitchell Trio.〔
Musically, "Chestnut Mare" echoes the sound of The Byrds' mid-1960s recordings, with McGuinn's chiming 12-string Rickenbacker guitar sitting alongside guitarist Clarence White's country-style acoustic and electric guitar picking.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=ByrdWatcher: A Field Guide to the Byrds of Los Angeles )Lyrically, the song's spoken verses recount the story of one man's quest to tame a wild horse and echo the familiar Byrds' themes of nature and freedom.〔〔 The song's narrative can also be seen to deal in mythic archetypes; the wild mare being an embodiment of untamed nature, which the narrator wants to control, and as such, an analogy of mankind's attempts to dominate and subjugate the natural environment.〔
