Programme Note

_Following my discovery of minimalism in the year 2000, it became natural for me to compose a piece that would draw on minimalist techniques. Rainstorm, as the title would suggest is a description in music of a rainstorm, from small drops to a full storm and then back again. Since writing the piece I found that Leo Brouwer has composed a similar piece for guitar quartet. This is a pure coincidence, as I hadn’t heard Brouwer’s piece before!
