The title is a two-line poem I wrote to evoke a moment that included a stunning view of the Iowa River in a rainfall. Singing and playing simultaneously is explored in this work as a connection between voice and flute is particularly strong with the alto. The alto flute fits the vocal range more agreeably than the higher-pitched concert flute, and as Theobald Boehm wrote of his invention in \u003cem\u003eThe Flute and Flute Playing\u003c\/em\u003e, ‘Because of the great facility for modulation of the full, sonorous tones of this flute, it is adapted to music in the song style, and for accompanying a soprano voice.’ Circular breathing is required for a short portion of this piece.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuration: 5’30.
