rain doesn't fall gently.

rain doesn't fall gently. For Brass Quartet (5:00)

rain doesn’t fall gently. is piece that is carries the weight of a changing environment. The harsh constant rain motif insinuates a fearful environment and the tone should be held throughout, with the lyrical sections as an exception. The range for all 4 instruments gets very extreme, not limited to just the low or high range. The first and second trumpet parts, respectively, goes up to a concert E6 and Db6, french horn up to a concert E5 and down to Bb1, and trombone up to Bb4 and down to Bb1.
