Duration: 1 min 6 s
Description: A track for Naviar Records weekly haiku challenge, seven days in which to respond to the poem posted. A very short piece to represent a sudden burst of rain in winter. I used Audio Modelling's SWAM trumpet, Flugelhorn and Tuba for the lead lines. Musically it is also inspired by the work of renaissance composer, William Byrd.
