This is an orchestral variation of the song "Standin' Out Here in the Rain" originally written by Dorothy Olinger and later composed by her son Anthony Olinger. Unfortunately the only recorded audio version of "Standin' Out Here in the Rain" by Dorothy Olinger is an acapella version sung by Dorothy into a tape recorder and she has threatened her son with bodily harm is he were to post any of her acapella performances to SoundCloud, despite the fact that the original song is quite beautiful as is her performance. I'll keep on her.

I am an Anatomy Professor who writes classical music for full orchestra.  I've. been writing since 1995. Symphonies, symphonic suites, oratorios, overtures. I'm self-taught in composition and music theory.  My style is very melody based, post-classical romantic sounding pieces.  I've got these melodies in my head, so it seemed like it was my obligation to get them out for others to hear.  Please feel free to leave feedback, good bad or otherwise.  It's just nice to know someone is listening!
