Program note and publishing information:

Instrumentation: B♭ Trumpet and Piano

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain." This phrase reminds us to be adaptable, curious, openhearted, and brave; it inspires us to nd the light in the darkness and hold onto hope during challenging times.

This piece was written for my friend Caitlin Jodoin, someone who has always embodied this approach to life.

My hope is that this music nds others who are learning to dance in the rain, too.

SA L

she danced in the rain was rst written for tuba and piano and later adapted for other solo instruments.
