Popular spiritual With this spirited setting, Larry Shackley continues his series of jazz-flavored spirituals for church and school choirs. You can hear the train wheels turning in the opening accompaniment, then the voices enter one by one, singing: Gospel train is a-comin', comin'! The driving, bluesy piano part provides the energy for the joyous refrain. A smooth, serene middle verse leads to a final visit from the gospel train, ending in an exuberant coda.

When Christmas Comes To Town

for Tenor horn duet and brass band

By Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard
Arranged by Matt Shaw


From the soundtrack to the 2004 Warner Bros. Pictures movie 'The Polar Express', comes a new arrangement of 'When Christmas Comes To Town'. 

A box office hit, 'The Polar Express' tells the story of a young boy (named Hero Boy), who embarks upon a journey to the North Pole on a mysterious steam train on Christmas Eve, to visit Santa Claus. Once on board the train, the boy meets other children from various backgrounds who are all wanting to see Santa, as well as a magical train crew, headed by the Conductor. 'The Polar Express' stars Tom Hanks, providing voices and motion-capture for 6 characters, including the Conductor and Santa Claus. 

With an incredible original soundtrack from Hollywood legend Alan Silvestri, combined with other iconic Christmas recordings, 'The Polar Express' became an instant hit, and has embedded itself in Christmas popular culture.

'When Christmas Comes To Town' is performed in the film by the characters Billy the Lonely Boy and Hero Girl, with singing voices provided by Matthew Hall and Meagan Moore, and tells the story of their differing perspectives of Christmas, with a shared desire to see Santa.

This new arrangement from Matt Shaw is scored for two solo Tenor Horns with brass band accompaniment (including a tutti 2nd horn part), and captures all the magic and innocence of the original song, whilst being intentionally scored to be approachable and playable by bands of all levels. The solo lines are scored within a sensible range, and are supported by warm chords from the middle and lower band, with a continuous magical presence from the percussion writing. 

Originally arranged for, and performed by, the Wingates Brass Band, this arrangement promises to be a fantastic new addition to any band Christmas programme, as both a new and accessible feature and an instant crowd pleaser.

By Harpers Bizarre. By Harry Warren. Arranged by Dominic McGonigal. Contemporary. Octavo. 9 pages. C8 Music #4278535. Published by C8 Music (A0.924050).

A Glenn Miller classic, depicting a train ride from New York to Chattanooga, Tennessee, passing through Baltimore and North Carolina. It starts with the old steam train slowly pulling out of the station, then rattling along with one of the great big band tunes. This arrangement includes optional train whistles and cabasa, played by the singers to enhance the railway experience. It ends with two cheeky chords for the final whistle, Whoo Whoo. It's suitable for any SATB choir and I have also done it with individual pro singers. Older audiences remember the tune. Younger ones want to know more about Glenn Miller and the big band era. Duration 2'.

Esperando un tren de regreso (Waiting for a return train)

Back to where? A train back to childhood, to purity, to certainties, to paradise lost.

The title comes from a fragment of Ernesto Sabato:

And when life had already marked on my face the misfortunes, how many times, on a park bench, sorrowful and dejected, I have waited again for a train back. (Ernesto Sabato, Before the end, page 10).
