An absolutely
stunning piece for young
bands that is
programmatic in design
and hauntingly beautiful
in every sense of the
word. Your percussionists
will enjoy the challenge
of providing a myriad of
colors to enhance this
expressive work while
audience members actively
participate by creating
the sound of falling
rain. It should be noted
that the technical
demands of this
composition are crafted
so that the wind players
will be able to focus on
a highly expressive and
musical performance. This
latest offering by noted
composer James Swearingen
will make a superb
addition to your band
library. Very
appealing!

Barnhouse Command
Series
The

includes works at grade
levels 2, 2.5, and 3.
This series is designed
for middle school and
junior high school bands,
as well as high school
bands of smaller
instrumentation or
limited experience.
Command Series
publications have a
slightly larger
instrumentation than the
Rising Band Series, and
are typically of larger
scope, duration, and
musical content.
