SATB w/piano accompaniment duration: 3’45”
Depression, isolation, alienation: themes addressed in this setting of Robert Frost’s metaphorical text. The choir paints images over a repeated jazz piano bass line. The sense of walking at night is evoked as are the inner-blues of the poem. Rhythmic and thought-provoking. This is a work of medium difficulty, appropriate for high school, collegiate and community choirs. Commissioned by Penn High School Choirs, Andrew Nemeth, Allison Secaur, Ethan Schopp, directors.
