Same Train. Mark Adamo. A Cappella sheet music.

Original

Same Train composed by Mark Adamo. For Choral. SATB a cappella. Choral. 12 pages. G. Schirmer #ED 4497. Published by G. Schirmer. HL.50490629. ISBN 1458415953. 6.75x10.5 inches. Composed for Craig Hella Johnson and Conspirare, the composer writes. Same Train, in many arrangements seems to sing of good news coming. But – maybe it was the relentlessness, the conclusiveness of the title phrase – I wondered if what was coming might actually have been a funeral train. coming for “our sister, our mother,” and. soon enough for us, too. I thought of so many other spirituals which sing about dark truths in bright music, and wondered if I couldn't use the imitative, “ch-ch-train” ostinato to honor that willfully smiling aspect of the piece, while also freeing the harmonies to make audible the more disconsolate feelings underneath.
