And Miles to Go Before I Sleep

Description

3-Part Mixed

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.”
