This choral piece was technically illegal until about five years ago! There's a story behind it.

Famed choral composer Eric Whitacre wrote a setting to music of Robert Frost's Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening. It was as you see, rehearsed and recorded in Minnesota.

The problem is, he never secured the rights to the poem because Frost's estate let no one use the text. He has a librettist friend who wrote something to fit the meter of both the original Frost and the music that had been set to it. And the rest is history.

This is one of those that may take time to get used to. My first time hearing it I liked how it started, but then it sounded too dissonant and messy. This rendition is one of the clearest, and once you learn the melody and rhythm, it is much more enjoyable. Interestingly it can sound entirely joyful and dark/scary at the same time or depending on which way you interpret it.
