The Pasture is a setting of a poem by American poet Robert Frost exploring renewal and rebirth. The fresh imagery of the pasture, the clear water, and the leaves is painted with devices borrowed from folk music: dotted rhythms and grace notes in the piano accompaniment, and lilting vocal melodies. The warmth of the music alludes to the companion to whom the song is addressed.

Accompanying Accessible and Beautiful, ed. Garrett and Coleman, this audio bundle contains learning tracks for each voice part, as well as a full performance track.
