Raindrops Are the Tears We Dont Shed

This evocative six-minute work for brass quintet offers a quiet meditation on memory, longing, and the fragile weight of unspoken emotions. Scored for a warm, unified blend, the writing favors subtlety over virtuosity—wide, exposed intervals, whisper-soft entrances, and sustained lines that demand control and stillness. Ambiguous meter, fluid tuplets, and time-bending gestures create a hazy, suspended atmosphere where ideas hover rather than resolve. Intimate and introspective, the piece unfolds like a lingering thought remembered too late, ultimately dissolving into silence. An expressive and contemplative addition to recital or chamber programs.
