It's 8 o'clock in the morning on a busy street in downtown St. Louis in 1911. You jump onto an overcrowded streetcar (i.e. tram or trolley) and hold on for the morning's adventure. You go through various streets, various moods. The driver lets out a couple of loud horn blasts to keep people out of the way. You soon arrive at your destination. Published in Chicago in 1911. Bess Rudisill's best known composition, it's still being played today. As played by the Confluence Chamber Orchestra, complete with slideshow of street scenes and an authentic trolley bell and car horn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgtQx0Rwor8 As played on melodica and electric piano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRuWDqAAzLw This title also appeared in the Nora Hulse CD "The Thriller and Other Piano Rags by Women Composers". Thank you to JohnJ1995 for that info. Original score source was from the Charles Templeton Sheet Music Collection at this link: https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/cht-sheet-music/12900/ This is a reproduction of the original score. I have added 16 measures of the repeated A strain in its proper place after the B strain to eliminate one of the two D.S. page jumps. At measure 19 changed the last LH chord from G#-A to G-A#; measure 23 changed the last LH chord from B octave to G octave; measure 78 changed the first RH chord from B#-D to B-D#. |
