By EnsembleSheetMusic. Composed by Scott Joplin. Arranged by Sjoerd van der Veen. This edition: pdf, streaming. Chamber, Classical, Instructional, March, Ragtime. 16 pages. Sjoerd van der Veen #156695. Published by Sjoerd van der Veen (A0.546762).
Scott Joplin’s historic program piece, brilliantly reimagined for Woodwind Quintet (arranged by Sjoerd van der Veen).
Originally composed in 1896 to depict a real-life, staged train crash in Texas, The Great Crush Collision March is a unique, narrative-driven work that brings immense energy to any recital. This arrangement beautifully distributes the syncopated rhythms, train whistles, and dramatic build-ups across all five instruments: Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet, Horn in F, and Bassoon.
The Concert Edition Advantage: To maximize the dramatic drive and modern concert pacing, this specific edition intentionally omits the traditional structural repeats in sections D and E. Instead of looping back, the ensemble charges directly from the lyrical dolce Trio into the frantic, 60-mph acceleration of the approaching trains, culminating in an uninterrupted, high-impact sforzato collision.
This structural refinement ensures a fast-paced, engaging audience experience, making it a perfect choice for themed recitals, educational concerts, or a spectacular encore.
