This Train was first arranged for the Los Angeles Master Chorale Outreach Ensemble in the mid 1980's. It was revived and rearranged to include a children's chorus for the Gregg Smith Singers third concert in their 1999 New York City Series which was held at St. Peter's Church in Manhatten with the Central Park East Elementaqry School Choir and, of course, the Gregg Smith Singers. The piano part is written to simulate the feel of a banjo as the primary accompanying force. The children's chorus part at the end, as indicated in the score, contains an optional divisi into three parts. If desired, sopranos from the SATB chorus may sing any of these notes.

Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir. Level 2+. Spiritual. With an opening figure that invokes train wheels rolling along a track, this arrangement of the well-known spiritual is as much fun to ring as it is to hear. The melody passes between all ranges of the bells, giving everyone a chance to shine. Varied techniques add an element of interest, and both the key change and the occasional accidental give ringers a chance to practice bell changes. A fun number all around!
