Published in Jardin d'enfants (Children's Garden), a piano collection for learners published by Henri Lemoine (first edition 1961, supervised by M.-R. Clouzot). In 1976, it was separately published as a harp solo piece, retaining the exact same score as the piano version. It is a two-page miniature piece, without key signature, in 2/4 time, marked Allegretto, and in a free form. Although titled 'Rain,' this piece likely depicts a light drizzle or a passing shower. It evokes the dry European rain, where no one uses an umbrella. For learners, it offers an excellent opportunity to encounter modern harmonies such as major sevenths, perfect fourths, and minor seconds, as well as techniques like arpeggios with coordinated hands and glissandos. Oriental-style modes are also employed, which, especially on the harp, evoke the character of Japanese koto music. Incidentally, Damase also composed an elegant miniature titled Neige (Snow) for three harps.
