Program Notes This is my orchestration of Samuel Barber's "Rain Has Fallen", the first of his Three Songs, Opus 10.

Rain Has Fallen (text: James Joyce) Rain has fallen all the day./ O come among the laden trees:/ The leaves lie thick upon the way/ Of mem’ries./.../ Staying a little by the way/ Of mem’ries shall we depart./ Come, my beloved, where I may/ Speak to you heart, / Speak to your heart.
