Robert Frost poetry set to music
We take a break from continuous coverage of "Forfeit 4 Greater Taxes" to bring you a musical interlude. This month's "bonus selections" on the Coventry Chorale website are three Robert Frost poems set to music by American composer Randall Thompson: "The Road Not Taken", "Choose Something Like a Star", and "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening". That last piece would be a good choice to cool you down at 4 o'clock on a July afternoon. The featured piece , in honor of Independence Day, is a medley of Emma Lazarus's "The New Colossus" and the Battle Hymn of the Republic, arranged by Wilhousky.
