This heart-stopping work depicts the legendary train wreck of Casey Jones and Engine No. 382. Railroad warning bells and the release of steam announce the train's departure. Complex harmonies weave through various textures as the audience feels the clickety-clack of the railroad tracks. The suspense continues until the unavoidable impact in which students play any note. Amazing and substantive, yet with only six notes!
