I sang this Choir back in 1984, I am so happy to find this and hear it again!!

Portsmouth High School Chrior 1982 actually. We sang this beautiful song, from the Poet of our State. Robert Frost!

I learned this piece in high school many, many years ago and it is still one of my favorite choral arrangements...so lovely.

this song popped into my head for the first time in years. hadn't heard it since I left high school, no idea it was sung by so many; I naively thought our choral director had picked some lost, obscure treasure. this recording is about the same tempo that we performed. I definitely live the Road Not Taken

I love this song. I remember singing it in the Mixed Chorus at Lamar High in Houston. It is so beautiful and meaningful!

To listen to this performance of "the road" is a moving journey. To try to live one's life by this creed equally moving, blissful and glorious. And, yes, to Indymom, got to perform this somewhat earlier, that shows my age.To hear some of Thompson's music with Frost's word is seeing the door to heaven left ajar and being able to breathe it in for just alittle while.

I hated singing this song in choir. I just feel like the words were too rushed and forced to be confined to the music. I like it better as a poem. However, I love the piano in this song, so haunting and resonant.
