VOCES8: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Eric Whitacre

Lyrics: Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.   His house is in the village though;   He will not see me stopping here   To watch his woods fill up with snow.   My little horse must think it queer   To stop without a farmhouse near   Between the woods and frozen lake   The darkest evening of the year.   He gives his harness bells a shake   To ask if there is some mistake.   The only other sound’s the sweep   Of easy wind and downy flake.   The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   But I have promises to keep,   And miles to go before I sleep,   And miles to go before I sleep.

Randomly remembered this today and how I always wanted it to be a part of a Narnia movie somewhere. Preferably MN lol

I played the band version of this, called “October,” in high school. Opening soloist is played by an oboe and we had one of the state’s best oboe students playing it. When she couldn’t be at a concert, we had a kid play it on soprano sax, which was also heavenly.

For movie score buffs, this guy, Eric Whitacre, often works on choral parts in movies. I know he’s worked with John Powell for HTTYD (at least the third) and with Hans Zimmer for Pirates (I believe the vocals in the third movie in “At Wit’s End” are his influence plus maybe the mermaid tracks in the fourth movie)
