A Rainy Day – Gentle Cantabile for Organ (Reimagined) | Rien Schalkwijk

On a rainy Saturday afternoon in November 2025, after a busy morning, I sat down and wrote this gentle piece. I wanted it to reflect the atmosphere of the rain — not melancholy, but comforting. Quietly uplifting. A kind of warm shelter in sound. The piece is written in B-flat Major, with a contrasting interlude in G minor. It is intentionally versatile: you can play it slowly (Adagio) or a little more flowing (Andante), as I do here. It works with a bold registration or a more intimate one — with strings, without strings. I first recorded and published this piece in November 2025. You can listen to it here:    • NEW COMPOSITION: A Rainy Day (Cantabile No...  . But last week, my friend ‪@jerrymartin79‬ shared his own performance on YouTube:    • Rien Schalkwijk: A Rainy Day (Cantabile No...  . He played it so beautifully that it inspired me to return to the score. This new recording is more reflective, more spacious. I chose a slower tempo than before and explored twelve different registrations to let the colours breathe. I needed to adjust my phrasing to the stop changes (with my right foot firm on the right sequencer toe piston) I hope this reimagined version speaks to you — perhaps like rain against the window: gentle, steady, and quietly reassuring.
