Program Notes:
In both the rhythmic, syncopated Rain Song and the lyrical and hymn-like Wind Song the text is intended to evoke a life-affirming spirituality. Rain Song is a playful celebration of a downpour, and the metaphorical "listen to the wind" of Wind Song represents drawing strength from one's inner, spiritual voice. -Bruce Stark
