Rain Dream

A highly imaginative choral piece for SSAA choir and piano. In it a young child who lives in the dry central Australian outback and has never seen rain dreams of what it would be like to be in a thunderstorm. The work eventually becomes a sort of rain dance with chanting of “Wandjina”, an Australian Aboriginal rain spirit.

Recording by Gondwana Voices, January 2013 at Verbrugghen Hall (Conservatorium of Music in Sydney).
