In City Rain, Judith Zaimont captures the spirit and vitality of a summer shower as it falls on a busy city street. Written as a miniature tone poem, the music draws a lively picture of a passing rainstorm. Rain drops dance on the sizzling pavement, metal awnings, and surprised pedestrians who run to safety. The piece continuously unfolds, unified by the jazz-like rhythmic motive based on the syncopated pattern of the title words “city rain” (sixteenth, eighth, sixteenth notes).

• Over the course of the Concerto the intervals from which the themes are built compress, from 3rds in mvt. one, to 2nds in movement two, and pounding unisons in movement three. Thus, the Solar Traveller pianist physically experiences the compressive forces and increased tensions we associate with space travel’s incredible speeds through the musical analog of progressive intervallic compression.
