Staple Singers : Freedom Highway : 1 CD : 886972412023 : 4A724120

Staple Singers : Freedom Highway    Out of Print

The Staple Singers were an American gospel, soul, and R&B singing group. Roebuck "Pops" Staples (1914-2000), the patriarch of the family, formed the group with his children Cleotha), Pervis, Yvonne, and Mavis. The family began appearing in Chicago-area churches in 1948, and signed their first professional contract in 1952. During their early career they recorded in an acoustic gospel-folk style with various labels: United Records, Vee-Jay Records, Riverside Records, and then Epic Records in 1965. While the family surname is "Staples", the group used the singular form for its name, resulting in the group's name being "The Staple Singers". This is their 1965 release on Columbia Records now available at a budget price. Most tracks are accompanied.

Songlist: Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Move Along Train, Are You Sure, Wade In The Water, If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again, Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!, The Lord's Prayer, Jacob's Ladder, Why? (Am I Treated So Bad), Praying Time, For What It's Worth, Hammer And Nails, Freedom Highway, What You Gonna Do?, Samson And Delilah, Nobody's Fault But Mine, Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw, This Train

This Train : SATB : Dale Jergenson : Dale Jergenson : Sheet Music : CH-1349

Dale Jergenson : This Train

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.

This Train : SSA : Peter Frost : Sheet Music : GIA7473 : 785147747307

Peter Frost : This Train

The traditional spiritual is arranged in a bit of a folk-rock style, with a highly syncopated and involved bass line in the piano typical of that played by an electric bass. On an eight-bar section about half way through, two groups of singers use non-pitched sounds to great effect to create the sound of an old locomotive. This is a developed arrangement that makes a crowd pleasing concert piece. Cambiata part is optional
