The Rain Song (SATB)

for Chorus and Body Percussion

by Mark Growden

This piece was written while walking through the Mission District of San Francisco on a rainy evening. California has been experiencing a serious drought these past few years. I was thrilled to feel the raindrops, hence the celebratory feeling of the piece.
