A
harmonically rich setting
of one of Robert
Frost’s most
well-known poems, this
piece is perfect for
middle school or smaller
high school ensembles. It
is strophic in form,
beginning in unison,
easing into clever
canonic imitation, then
alternating between
highlighting women and
men. An emotional
half-step modulation sets
the heightened mood for
the final verse, which
ends the work with voices
echoing the iconic words:
And miles to go before I
sleep..
