Here Comes the Rain

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Evening Music is all wet tonight, as we focus on watery works beginning with Reinhardt Göbel and Music Antiqua Köln in Georg Philip Telemann's "Water Music" Overture.

Also, Toru Takemitsu's "Rain Coming" for chamber orchestra (in this case, the London Sinfonietta), and Robert Kyr's "Unseen Rain" for voices and ensemble, based on quatrains by 13th-century spiritual poet Rumi.

And just in case you forgot what day it is (even though the weekend gives a slight reprieve) we'll hear Ben Yarmolinsky's tongue-in-cheek cantata, "April 15th Blues."
