I. Drizzle

II. Raindrops

III. Sun Shower

The title comes from the anonymous Medieval poem Western Wind that includes the phrase, “The small rain down can rain?” A gentle, nurturing, and replenishing rain for the spirit informs three movements of quiet and pretty luminance, inspired throughout by the insistent pulse in Chopin’s Raindrop prelude. A focus on beautiful tone quality and pedaling will reveal the luminous qualities of the piano.
