    "Sleep" is a choral work composed by Eric Whitacre. It was originally written as a setting of Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," but the Frost estate refused to allow the text to be used, so the words were changed and the piece became "Sleep." This, however, is a recording from before the piece was published, sung with the original Frost text.
