When you read the prose of Robert Frost's “Stopping by Woods on Snowy Evening,” you may be struck by the beautiful imagery and quaint mood that the text conjures. Roger Emerson's brilliant choral setting of this classic American poem takes the form and structure of the (mostly) monosyllabic text and weaves a modern, familiar and truly breathtaking musical interpretation akin to a brisk, moonlit gallop of a horse and its rider! Outstanding!
