Didn't It Rain?

The story of Noah and the flood is the subject of this outstanding setting based on the traditional spiritual. It calls for a baritone soloist, who introduces the chorus of the spiritual, then the choir responds with a harmonized version. For a special performance option, the audience gets to participate by making body-percussion rain sounds during the two-measure breaks of the closing section. It's a very effective concert/festival selection, with lots of audience appeal!
