CGE72 Rainsong (Two-part)
Description
Lightfoot's whimsical and energetic original is a creative programming delight! Throughout the piece, both piano and voices emulate the gentle and playful rhythms of falling rain, and the ending unfolds with a fun, syncopated tap, tap, tapping of the rain upon the window pane. Limited ranges and lots of dynamic interest make this a great choice for developing choirs. A Learning Resource Page is included.
Voicing: Two-part
Composer: Mary Lynn Lightfoot
