“More than the wind, more than the snow, more than the sunshine, I love the rain!” Celebrating the love of rain, Ebenezer Jones' lesser-known poem is set with spirit and vitality in this 2-part work for concert or contest. The comfortable ranges of easily learned parts are filled with dynamic contrast and rhythmic energy including a contrasting middle section in minor mode. A great confidence builder for young singers and a great selection for spring and end-of-year concerts!
