okay...
... so I'm getting the impression that people aren't so WILD about my new title, Raindrops Hang From a Spider's Web... any suggestions?
What I liked about the title was how it described the delicate and fragile balance in nature, yet how precisely and perfectly-designed nature is. I thought the imagery was good -- like diamonds suspended on a silken thread...
OK, so the piece is pointalistic, which is to say that it's about single notes, tiny events... little musical moments. It's minimalistic, so there is a lot of patterns and repetition. It is a little unsettling sounding -- it's made up of a synthetic scale (F G A B C# D E -- or D harmonic minor, starting on the third scale degree), and the notes are very angular (there's not a lot of melodic motion). There is a lightness and a delicacy about it, and it's very diaphanous in texture (go look it up).
The Spiderweb part is not important. Actually, the rain isn't important either... you can try something with dew, although I thought "dew" seems like too warm and friendly of a word... or snowflakes, but I think of "snowflakes" as too positive and magical... the only thing is, the title MUST involve some form of water.
Anyway, I don't care if anyone liked my idea, I just want a good title for the piece. I'm up for suggestions -- let's hear some open creativity out there!

I hope that's gonna be the cover for the piece. That would be SWEET. ;-)
Unless that's a Mac desktop pic. Kinda looks like one. ;-)

Ok, hmm maybe these are better:
Rainfalls Through Glass
Droplets Of Heaven and Earth
Droplets Of Water Diamonds
Implied Water:
River Of Glass Shards
Raindrops Of Glass Shards
I hope these help.
I would need to hear a clip of the piece first before I could give any ideas on a title.... :-)
Hail shower in spring.
Something with Hail (which seems to fit the description in a very different way. delicate in the way that it works when it hits the ground and bounces up 3 inches). Maybe?
Maybe something with frost? I think it fits your description...just like droplets on the spider's web, the slightest heat melts frost since it is so thin...it's made up of lots of tiny crystals if you look at it closely...
