Written with developing voices and ears in mind, this partner song setting of the colorful poem The Rainbow is just right for choirs seeking to build harmony-singing skills. Independent yet complementary melodic lines encourage singers to retain their individual parts, while the cascading piano accompaniment subtly reinforces key notes and entrances. A great piece to grow on!

A great fit for choirs of any age or ability! Harry Belafonte sang this joyful West Indies song on his 1956 album Calypso. Dr. Robinson's arrangement has just the right amount of repetition versus development, and will come together quickly with intuitive voice leading and some stylistic syncopation. One a cappella refrain just after the key change features the conga to keep the groove going, and a final descant adds a rhythmic counterline above. Build up the Jamaican vibe with our light SoundTrax accompaniment or the notated percussion part (available free online). The theme: build your house on solid ground.
