St Swithin's Day: classical music inspired by rain
2. Grieg - Spring rain
A beautiful and expressive vocal line accompanied by falling chords which imitate the raindrops as they cascade through the trees, reminding the poet of a fairy orchestra. It's taken from his Seks Dikte (Six Songs) for voice and piano, with words by Holger Drachmann.
