Review:
All aboard for a rollicking good time ringing Patricia Hurlbutt's arrangement of the classic American folk song. Sure to bring back fond memories, this setting chugs along with a variety of fun techniques mimicking the clickety-clack of the wheels on the rails and the whistle of the horn. All octaves of bells get a chance to play the melody and lyrics are included for a vocalist or audience sing-along, making this a perfect choice for school choirs and community concerts. 86 measures. Key of C Major.
