In the Attic Tapes three tapes seem to be for a piece called Singing Waters[1][2] including the lyrics "It is raining women's voices".[3]

The text is the poem “Il pleut” by Apollinaire. Highly evocative and literal treatments of this text. The poem’s graphology is apparently also reflected in Derbyshire’s treatments. [...] The label on this reel presumably refers to Penny as the singer.[4]
