In her tone poem
City Rain, Judith Zaimont captures the spirit and vitality of a summer shower as it falls on a busy city street. This piece draws a lively picture of a passing storm and is unified by the jazz-like rhythmic motive based on the pattern of the title words “city rain.” Zaimont paints the image of rain through the rhythmic motive and the use of body percussion and alternative instruments (such as tapping patterns on music stands). As the music unfolds, each section ofthe band is spotlighted at different times. The instruments also join t ogether to produce layers of sound that create interesting and complex jazz chords.
