Sasha Takes a Train - Kim Portnoy

This large full score (11" x 17") is available for this entry in our Wind Band Select series at normal discount. Sasha Takes a Train, commissioned by the USAF Band of Mid-America, was inspired by a memorable overnight train ride in Eastern Europe taken by the composer's family. The music is intended to evoke the motion and sounds of the train and the noisy, scary, surprising and joyous character of the journey. Sasha refers to the composer's then 13 month old son Alexander who managed to sleep through much of his first train adventure.

The natural beauty and historical significance of the Peconic River, a tranquil and majestic waterway originating in the pine barrens of eastern Long Island, are depicted in this colorful, flowing and tuneful new piece by Long Island resident Carl Strommen. The luminous scoring is designed to show the band to its best advantage. The 6/8 meter of most of the piece is ideal for representing the flow of the river's steady progress to the sea.
