The Road Not Taken

BJ Brooks' setting of this well-known Robert Frost text for SA voices and piano, examines the meaning of the text and its implications through text painting and within the contour of the melodic phrases. "Two roads" of tonal and neo-tonal concepts are at play between the vocal melody and the undulating accompaniment. New to the Carl Fischer choral catalog, Brooks' thought-provoking and musically interesting piece is a must-sing for any women's choir.
