Kocher (A0.943020)."Lammas" or "The Loaf Mass" is a celebration of the first fruits of the harvest from early August through early September: The wheat harvest. In Gaelic circles it is better known as "Lughnasadh".
In my imagination, late summer conjures images of Medieval and Renaissance Faires; it is a time of magic and of fairies. In "Lammas Rain" I try to set the mood of a light summer rain which quickly builds to a downpour and then just as quickly dissipates. The revelers run and duck for cover, some sheltering in little man-made groves and outbuildings while others shelter (perhaps unwisely) under trees. The storm passes. The last few drops trickle from the drooping leaves. And for a space of time, all is quiet.
"Lammas Rain" is written at an intermediate/advanced level and works as a concert piece, a recital piece, or just as an enjoyable mood-setting piece to play at home. It can also be used as an unusual, delightfully unexpected piece for special music during a church service on the first Sunday in August, or at any time during Lammas...Loaf Mass.
