Stopping by Woods—Roger Emerson. Based
on the motive of a galloping horse in the piano

call your attention to the words in the text. Creative
and effective!

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening—
arr. Douglas E. Wagner. "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 the familiar British folk tune O Waly
Waly, 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.

warmth and tranquility during the winter season.
