Voice of the Rain

Voice of the Rain, The : arr. Stephen Chatman (SATB)

Be the first to review this product

The first line of Walt Whitman's gentle poem, The Voice of the Rain, poses the question, "And who art thou? Said I to the soft-falling shower." The answer: "I am the Poem of Earth, said the voice of the rain, Eternal," is beautifully developed in the remaining lines. In Stephen Chatman's reflective setting, the melody and simple homophony of the A section contrast the rising parallel sixths and polyphony of the B section, building in intensity toward the climax, on the reiterated words,"with love."
