Composer Rain Has Fallen
a most creative work, with voices and piano painting Joyce’s poetry in an original and lovely manner. Directors and choirs will fall in love with these two love songs for choir.

— Sally H. Dean, Palomar College Chamber Singers

Madelyn Byrne

Rain Has Fallen

For mixed chorus, piano, and optional crotales

“Rain Has Fallen” is one of two settings by Madelyn Byrne of poems from James Joyce’s Chamber Music. The other setting, “Winds of May“, is also available from Swirly Music.

The composer writes:

Chamber Music is an early work by James Joyce. It is a collection of poems dealing with the young author’s feelings of loneliness, anticipation, and love.   In this collection, Joyce uses descriptions of his natural environment to symbolize these bittersweet emotions. In my settings of these poems, I am letting these descriptions lead me in shaping the music. These pieces were written for the Palomar College Chamber Singers under the direction of Sally Dean.
