Rainstorm

"Sound painting" is what this creative piece is all about, and it achieves a magical effect! The choral parts for either three-part mixed or SATB voices are very simple, while much of the effect is produced by the piano and a small group of percussion instruments (cymbals, glockenspiel, timpani, shaker & triangle). The simple text describes the excitement of the approaching storm: "Something's coming...I can tell. From the heavens, from the well. Moving Eastward, from the West. Dark and angry; will it rest?" Finally, the chorus makes the sound of falling rain with random finger snaps. This is very special! Highly recommended!
