Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (2 part) – Wagner

Description

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.” The iconic Robert Frost poem is set to a familiar British folk tune, and the result is pure beauty. The vocal scoring is strophic in nature, beginning in unison and continuing with slight variation and color on succeeding verses. A lovely modulation lifts the emotional effect for the last verse.
