Soprano 1, Soprano 2, Alto, Piano, Drum — Optional "Body Percussion Rainstorm" IntroductionConsider the following prior to beginning the song. There is no tempo or meter, and there is great flexibility for each ensemble to adapt the actions to suit their context. The introduction can be as simple or complicated as desired, and it is a great way to vary the sonic experience of the audience.Singers on the far left (or right) of the chorus begun rubbing hands together (ad libitum). Then the people next to them join in. This continues in a steady wave until the entire ensemble is rubbing their hands together. In the same manner, the chorus careens through the actions below, creating a crescendo-decrescendo of storm sounds.Body Percussion "Rainstorm" Sounds:Rub hands togetherSnap fingersClap handsPat thighsStomp feet4.
