Words by Joseph S. Cotter, Jr
Music by Victor C. Johnson
"On the dusty earthdrum beats the falling rain. Now a whispered murmur, now a louder strain." This rhythmically driven, forward-moving piece enhances the dramatic, image-laden text of Kentucky-born poet and playwright Joseph S. Cotter, Jr. Effective part writing, along with optional rain stick and djembe parts, heightens the musical impact of this beloved work.
