Ground Rules

 

 

Here are the ground rules to keep us all on the same page:

 

  1. For this project, we will be using Sibelius 4.0 exclusively. Although I use Finale frequently and think it’s a great application, I decided on Sibelius 4.0. If you have an earlier version of Sibelius, you won’t be able to participate. Sorry.
  2. While there is no limit to the length of the piece, it should be appropriate for a middle school chorus.
  3. You may add 8 measures at a time, but you must wait until someone else has added to the composition before adding additional measures.
  4. You can add less than 8 measures, or even a few bars of one voice if you’d like.  Don’t feel that you need to compose 8 full measures - especially if you having students participate.
  5. You may always edit any of the material in the previous measures, though you are not required to.
  6. You must sign your name in boxed text above the measures you composed.
  7. The finished piece will not be published through a traditional outlet. It will only be available for free on this site. No commercial gain shall be received by any of the composers involved.

The Road Not Taken

by Robert Frost

 

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

 

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

 

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
