In Time of Silver Rain

Description

This joyful poem by Langston Hughes uses spring rain as a metaphor for hope and celebrates renewal. Listen for gentle syncopations, a sculpted melodic contour, and a variety of choral textures that flow effortlessly over the rhythmic piano accompaniment. This delightful selection is not difficult to sing, but sounds impressive with or without the nimble flute obbligato.
