Rhythm Express
From Plank Road Publishing
by Teresa Jennings and Paul JenningsThis big band piece gives students a chance to listen for the rhythms that a train makes; it offers reinforcement of easy part division; it provides movement opportunities; and it highlights the jazz ensemble and swing, in particular. Despite the complexity and high caliber of the accompaniment, the vocal part is quite simple. It is unison everywhere except where it breaks into four parts for "sound effects." What are you waiting for? Get on board now! (from Music K-8, Vol. 8, No. 4)
