A Very Distinct Possibility

On a day when the sky is darkening with clouds, this piece captures the anticipation and perhaps even the excitement of impending rain. The text, sung in English, playfully notes the obvious signs pointing to a downpour. Barbara Rosen’s setting for SATB choir is a delightful exploration of a common, everyday observation. This secular art song would be a refreshing addition to a concert program, offering a moment of lighthearted reflection on nature’s moods. The vivid imagery of the lyrics is brought to life through the choral writing, making it an engaging choice for both singers and audience.
