    Hello everyone in this beautiful Open Mic community. In this week #265, we explore the theme: “Through the Rain.” I am pleased to share my trumpet performance of “The Gentle Rain,” a bossa nova song composed by Luiz Bonfá and Matt Dubey in 1965 for the soundtrack of the film of the same name. Its melody is lyrical and fluid, with modal scales and chromatic passages. The harmony is rich with extended chords and impressionistic progressions. The rhythm consists of a gentle swing with elegant syncopation and frequently uses quarter note triplets. You had the opportunity to hear instrumental and sung versions by artists such as Astrud Gilberto, Stan Getz, Ella Fitzgerald, and Tony Bennett. The song speaks of a past love that still hurts, using the gentle rain as a symbol of those memories. These days the sky has turned gray, with a calm and relaxing drizzle.

    Hola a todos en esta bella comunidad de Open Mic. En esta semana #265, exploramos la temática: “Through The Rain”. Tengo el agrado de compartir mi interpretación con la trompeta de «The Gentle Rain», una canción de género bossa nova compuesta por Luiz Bonfá y Matt Dubey en 1965 para la banda sonora de la película del mismo nombre. Su melodía es lírica, y fluida, con escalas modales y pasajes cromáticos. La armonía tiene una gran riqueza por sus acordes extendidos y progresiones impresionistas. El ritmo consta de un swing suave con síncopas elegantes y usa frecuentemente tresillo de negras. He tenido la oportunidad de escuchar versiones instrumentales y cantadas por artistas como Astrud Gilberto, Stan Getz, Ella Fitzgerald y Tony Bennett. La canción habla de un amor del pasado que todavía duele, usando la lluvia suave como símbolo de esos recuerdos. En estos días el cielo se ha vuelto gris, con una llovizna tranquila y relajante.

    Walking through the rain is a wonderful experience. While serving as a missionary, I often had to walk through inclement weather. Rain can symbolize life's trials, but it can also mean a blessing. It also represents God's grace, truth, or the Holy Spirit. I come from a family of farmers and know how valuable rain can be in preparation for planting. After a drought, it can be a blessing, but sometimes it can cause disasters, material and human losses. Let's just say that rain in optimal and balanced conditions can be of great benefit. When we trust in God, the storms of our lives can be weathered and even calmed. On many occasions, when the rain kept me from moving forward, I prayed, and God blessed us with abundant sunshine. Jesus Christ is undoubtedly our spiritual umbrella and calm in the storm. I hope that, like dew from heaven, you enjoy my interpretation this week.

    Caminar a través de la lluvia es una experiencia maravillosa. Mientras servía como misionero, me tocó caminar muchas veces bajo las inclemencias del clima. La lluvia puede simbolizar las pruebas de la vida, pero también puede significar una bendición. También representa la gracia de Dios, la verdad o el Espíritu Santo. Vengo de una familia de agricultores y sé lo valioso que puede ser la lluvia en preparación para la siembra. Después de una sequía puede ser una bendición, pero en ocasiones puede causar desastres, pérdidas materiales y humanas. Digamos que la lluvia en condiciones óptimas y equilibradas puede ser de gran beneficio. Cuando confiamos en Dios, las tormentas de nuestras vidas se pueden sobrellevar, e incluso se pueden calmar. En muchas ocasiones, cuando la lluvia no me dejaba avanzar, me tocó orar, y Dios nos bendijo con un sol abundante. Jesucristo sin duda es nuestro paraguas espiritual, y la calma en la tempestad. Espero que, como roció del cielo, disfruten de mi interpretación esta semana.

    The Gentle Rain

    We both are lost and alone in the world
    Walk with me in the gentle rain
    Don't be afraid, I've a hand for your hand
    And I will be your love for a while

    I feel your tears, as they fall on my cheek
    They are warm like the gentle rain
    Come little one, you´ve got me in the world
    And our love will be sweet, very sweet

    Come little one, you´ve got me in the world
    And our love will be sweet
    Very sweet, very sad
    Like the gentle rain
    Like the gentle rain
