To Michael, Franz Schubert set the poem to music. The piano adds wonderfully to the atmosphere, with a rolling left hand and rapid, repeated chords in the right. You can hear the horse's galloping hooves, and the storm, and feel the father's agitation and the boy's terror. It's worth a listen. The recording I have is included with our music textbook, so I am not sure where to direct you for a recording. ...and to Uncle DaveO--I am familiar with the poem The Grey Cock, but don't know a melody for it. I like the story. Now, imagine with me, teaching a group of 14-year-olds a poem featuring a handsome cock...at least no mention is made of gay plumage. Yup, this is a big category and a fun one. Thanks! Meanwhile, keep breathing, lest we sing about you.
