grazie largo64 - i understand frost hated the idea of his poems being sung to musical accompaniment ... and yet some lend themselves perfectly to music. hope the old guy isn't spinning in his grave.
Long may he spin (the exercise will be good)! After I saw this video last night I saw another where the same poem had been set to music for a chorale. Very nice, too. I have sung other poems, including Masefield's "Sea Fever" and Yeats's "The Cloths Of Heaven." Some poems were meant for music.
a beautiful poem put to song, you definitely did it justice

I like this. I've never heard Frost set to music before. You make an interesting song of this classic poem.
