Programme notes *: The meaning of "Railway" in music: A trace through the history of the train theme The theme of railways has long had a fascinating presence in the music world, from traditional folk songs to modern compositions. The term "railway" not only refers to physical railways, but also symbolizes a variety of emotions, experiences and narratives that are closely linked to the means of transport. The railway was a groundbreaking technological and cultural phenomenon that had an enormous impact on the world in the 19th century. Its introduction created new opportunities for trade, travel and migration, and it became a symbol of progress and modernity. These themes have been captured in many folk songs and ballads describing the experiences of laborers, migrant workers and travelers on the railways. Some of the most famous examples of railroad songs include "The Wabash Cannonball," "Casey Jones" and "I've Been Working on the Railroad." These songs tell stories of hard days at work, adventures on the road and the longing for home and love. They capture the rhythmic sounds and hard work of railway workers and invite listeners to embark on a journey along the tracks. The railway theme has also found its place in classical music. Composers such as Ferde Grofé and Arthur Honegger have created works that capture the power and dynamism of the railway. Grofé's "Grand Canyon Suite" includes the movement "On the Trail", which imitates the rhythmic clatter of railroad wheels and provides a picturesque depiction of a train ride through the Grand Canyon landscape. Honegger's "Pacific 231" is a symphonic depiction of a steam train at full speed, capturing the power and energy of the mechanical wonder. The railway theme remains relevant in modern music. Rock bands such as Creedence Clearwater Revival have released songs such as "Midnight Special" and "Run Through the Jungle" that take up the motif of the railway and place it in a contemporary context.
