Earl Robinson’s Cantata, Lonesome Train,
The Riverside Church in NYC presented the Aaron
Copland School of Music at Queens College, The NYC
Labor Chorus and The Riverside Inspirational Choir in
Earl Robinson’s cantata The Lonesome Train in honor
of the birthday of the great emancipator Abraham
Lincoln. The work had not been heard in its entirety for
more than 50 years.
The performance featured theatrical direction by Lorca
Peress,a narrator played by acclaimed actress Ruby Dee
(American Gangster, Steam), a chorus led by a balladeer,
Michael Mark (I Love My Wife, Cotton Patch Gospel),
barn-dance caller David Amram (composer/Author/Jazz
musician), banjo soloist Eric Weissberg (Dueling Banjos,
Deliverance) and Sam Waterston (Law and Order) as
President Lincoln. The four join gospel preacher Tyrone
Aiken and his choir, a barn dance caller and fiddler to
honor Lincoln’s message of “a new nation conceived in
liberty.”
The Riverside production was introduced by Pete Seeger.
