Words by Robert
Frost.
Robert
Frost's famous poem
describes the woods as
lovely, dark, and deep,
and the same can be said
about this appealing
setting for winter
concerts. The minor key
casts a pensive backdrop
for the vivid imagery of
the text. The composer
shows her teaching
prowess by sculpting a
line that harmonizes
easily when sung in
thirds and fits together
perfectly when echoed
from part to part.
Developing choirs will
appreciate the balance of
emotional depth in the
words and approachable
challenges in the vocal
parts. Sing the cue notes
to quickly convert the
2-part voicing to
S.S.A.
