Rhythm of the Rain

With optional parts for woodblock, shaker, triangle, drum and other Orff instruments, this is a terrific example of tone painting! "Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain..." Everything about this piece-the repetitive text, the stepwise melody, the piano part, the rhythm instruments-reinforces the musical image of falling rain. Add the descant and, before your singers know it, they'll be singing a triple partner song! Superb!
