4L And Miles to Go Before I Sleep—
e Michael Ryan. This setting of one of Robert Frost's
most well-known poems has great educational
value, teaching lyricism, musicality, and the poetic
connection. In a strophic form, it begins in unison,
easing into clever canonic imitation, then alternating
between sections. An emotional half-step modula-
tion signals the final verse, which echoes the iconic
words: "And miles to go before I sleep."

like quality, this piece works for general or holiday

song of peace that uses light as the metaphor
for connection to each other, making it a great
