Iron Horse Express for String Orchestra, composed by Timothy Jarvela.

Before the early 1800s, horses were the primary mode of transportation for pulling rail cars and wagons along tracks. However, with the invention of the steam locomotive, the era of the "Iron Horse" began. This term was coined to describe the new machines that replaced the horses, which were capable of hauling heavy loads at incredible speeds.

"Iron Horse Express" is a musical masterpiece that vividly captures the essence of a steam train on its journey. From the ringing of the bells to the whistling and the hissing sound of steam, every detail of the train's travel is carefully portrayed through this piece. Although optional, the addition of vocal effects that emulate the sound of escaping steam can enhance the overall performance quality.

To ensure a consistent tempo, it may be beneficial to place the bows down for the pizzicato passages at the beginning of the piece. This piece is classified as Grade 2, making it suitable for intermediate-level performers.
