WINTER EVE

Emily Crocker | SSA with piano

Text by Robert Frost

“Winter Eve” takes its text from the poem “Good Hours” by Robert Frost. where he describes a solitary evening walk through a small village in winter. There is a clear contrast between the narrator’s isolation and the company of those within the cottages along the way. This musical setting reflects the expository nature of the text, with mostly homophonic texture. An excellent secular selection for winter concerts.
