Rain Rhymes Rhapsody (SSA)
This vibrant a cappella arrangement for SSA voices takes three beloved children’s songs - Rain Rain Go Away, It’s Raining, It’s Pouring, and Itsy Bitsy Spider - and reimagines them with creative twists and captivating harmonies. The piece opens with the familiar theme of Rain Rain Go Away, sung in an unexpected 5/4 meter, giving a playful yet slightly unsettled feel. It then transitions into It’s Raining, It’s Pouring, where the lower voices create interweaving rhythms reminiscent of raindrops. The medley shifts dramatically as Itsy Bitsy Spider enters in a minor key, modulating upwards as the spider ascends the spout. The piece ends with layered motifs, with all three songs intertwining in a climactic build to a declaration of “Go away, rain, go away!”
“Rain Rhymes Rhapsody” is a dynamic and imaginative work that is perfect for showcasing vocal precision and storytelling.
