Another piece about rain, i know, but with this comes a very important story. One of my friends was working on a clarinet solo for 6 months straight, this piece was her LIFE. At our recent solo/ensemble, when she performed not to her best ability, she was crushed. She was even more devastated when she found out she had gotten a 3, a rating she had NEVER gotten before, and in addition, she was not ablt to continue on to state her SENIOR year, even though all of high school she has gone (for clarinet solos, i might add). I composed this for her, because i know how hurt she was. I'm telling her that through the rain (meaning hard times, tears, etc.) she will always be appreciated, even if the judge couldn't see that. And after the storm, a rainbow (a better day) will follow, and the fruits of her labor will be rewarded. I hope you enjoy this.
