Raindrops is an atmospheric composition that is fresh and unique. You will be able to hear the sound of rain as your journey through this exquisite piece. A challenging piece, but more than worth the effort for an advancing ensemble.As you will hear, the main melody expresses drops of rain, especially the music in the piano part, which is like echoes. The piece is in time. This may seem to be an irregular time signature, but the music is designed to express a feeling of comfort. I recommend that it should be counted in a 3+2 pattern.
