This piece is called When it Rains it Pours. This piece was played by Charles R. Drew Charter School Senior Academy harp class 2B. This piece make me feel relaxed and calm. Using the tuning keys to create a sound that mimicks rain falling was magnifecent. I enjoyed playing and would recommend other Harpists to play it as well.
