This charming 3-Part choir arrangement is a quodlibet of three traditional songs about rain: Rain, Rain, Go Away; It's Raining, It's Pouring; and Pitter Patter Raindrops. It begins with a sparse staccato section which builds quickly to emulate the start of a rain shower, and then each song is added one after another until all three songs are sung at the same time. Then the rain sounds begin again until the rain shower ends with one final Drop. The piano score is simple and supports the singers, and because the song is in the key of F, Orff instruments can easily be added (or replace the piano entirely). Suitable for elementary aged students (range E4-D5), and perfect for a fall (autumn), spring, or early summer concert, or classroom instruction. Approximate performance time 1:40.

Patapan is a traditional Burgundian Christmas Carol arranged by Alan Bullard for choir in three parts (S.A.Bar.) and piano
This lively carol welcomes Jesus’ birth with instruments and voices, with an arrangement that hints at the sound of the fife and the drum, and provides a not-too-challenging tongue-twister in the refrain!
 It may be sung by a three-part SABar choir, but as there are occasional optional divisions in the baritone part, it may also be sung by an SATB choir. The piano accompaniment can be adapted for organ if required.

Alan Bullard's choral works are performed worldwide, and many have been recorded and broadcast. He has a reputation for music that choirs enjoy performing, and which speaks directly to audiences. The Colne Choral Series contains a range of Bullard's pieces for adult and youth choirs of all types, including cantatas and choral suites as well as individual movements.
