'Still Falls the Rain' is perhaps Edith Sitwell's greatest poem. Maconchy set the poem for double choir, unaccompanied, with some antiphonal writing. The recurrence of the phrase 'still falls the rain' throughout the poem is echoed in the music and helps to give shape and coherence to it. After the impassioned and tragic character of the main part of the poem, it ends on a calmer, even hopeful note (the Dawn after the Night raids perhaps). It was commissioned by the Chelmsford Festival and first performed there on 22 May 1985 by the BBC singers, conducted by John Poole, in Chelmsford Cathedral.

Jack London's text has been masterfully set by Rosephanye Powell who fills it with a variety of sounds from lilting joy to moments of spoken thoughts to melancholy reflection. The piano accompaniment is dynamic on its own yet supportive of the well-crafted vocal writing. A superb piece for contest and concert.

The long-lasting admiration for the poetry of Octavio Paz inspired Matthew Whittall to compose this captivating choir piece. A constant ostinato motif is carried throughout the piece depicting the white noise of the rain.
