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.

An emblem that transcends cultures, religions, and time periods, the flickering candle offers a message of joy, hope, and peace that can reach every human heart. Start with the spark of a single voice on the opening solo, and then light your choir's inner flame when the entire group joins. Simple, with a folk-like quality; artful, as the composer explores dark versus light, major versus minor.
