program notes:

When the Sun Comes After Rain is originally a choral motet written by Canadian composer Matthew Emery for the UBC University Singers in 2012, set to the Robert Louis Stevenson poem of the same name. The piece brings a freshness as real as the smells after a summer rain and evokes themes of love, longing, and belonging.

This wind band arrangement was premiered December 3rd 2016 by the University of Toronto Wind Ensemble under the direction of Dr. Gillian MacKay.

original text: 

When the sun comes after rain
by Robert Louis Stevenson

When the sun comes after rain
And the bird is in the blue,
The girls go down the lane
Two by two.
When the sun comes after shadow
And the singing of the showers,
The girls go up the meadow,
Fair as flowers.
When the eve comes dusky red
And the moon succeeds the sun,
The girls go home to bed
One by one.
And when life draws to its even
And the day of man is past,
They shall all go home to heaven,
Home at last.

Conductor’s Scores for large ensemble works (wind band, orchestra, etc.) published by E.K.R. HAMMELL MUSIC are optimized for 11x14 printing.

 

IDEAL SCORE PREPARATION (send your large ensemble Conductor’s Score PDF to a print shop with the following specifications for best results):

 

-Fit all pages to 11”x14” 

-double-sided

-Paper quality: B&W on 70lb opaque/matte paper

-No page additions needed

-(OPTIONAL) Covers : colour on white card stock (Collector Covers can be found as separate 2-page PDF attachments sent with your initial order)

-Coil-bound OR saddle-stitch spine (cheaper)

 

IDEAL PARTS PREPARATION 

-8.5”x11” 

-single-sided

-Paper quality: B&W on 70lb opaque/matte paper

-no coil

 

HOME/OFFICE SCORE PREPARATION:

If 11x14 printing size is not available to the purchaser, this sizing scales down fairly well to either 9x12 (a common concert band score size) or 8.5x11 (standard US Letter). This can be accomplished by selecting “Fit Pages” or “Fit to Printable Area” in your computer’s printing specifications window. Avoid using the “Shrink oversized pages” option, as this will not appropriately re-format the smaller text-based pages of the booklet (which are set to 8.5x11).

NOTE: Scaling down to 8.5x11 is not recommended for large ensemble scores (due to legibility concerns), but if it is your only option, it will work! In any case, make sure to select “Fit Pages” or “Fit to Printable Area” before printing the booklet.

NOTE - Collector Covers (colour) are sent in separate PDFs and may be added to (/merged with) any B&W print score optionally.
