Secular Concert All Voicings easy
Listen to the RainStephen L. Lawrence. This
imaginative piece will captivate your audience with
the sounds and sensations of a thunderstorm.
The whispered opening and lyrical melody set the
mood for an intriguing moment when the audience
actually becomes part of the performance. One
or more singers, the Rain Leaders, lead them
in creating a remarkably realistic-sounding
thunderstorm (using body percussion). From the
hush of the wind preceding the rain to the climactic
crash of the thunder, the effect is breathtaking!
Performance notes and ideas are included, along
with an opening narration.

Music in the WaterRuth Morris Gray. This
lesser-known poem by 19th-century poet Lura
Anna Boies celebrates the inherent artfulness in
nature. Simple but effective echo effects in the
voices imitate the sound of rippling waters, while

sound its best. "There is music in its clear and
crystal beauty, rippling down the mountainside..."

chapter that will never exist the same way again.
This piece is highly suitable for moving up or

n RainstormRoger Emerson. "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!

Rhythm of the RainJerry Estes. 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!
