Love is little (2009)

Matthew Whittall's (b. 1975) Love is Little (2009) is a modern motet taking a Shaker hymn tune as its cantus firmus. The original melody is gradually slowed down, looped and fragmented, forming a quiet, ambient soundscape in which each singer performs their own partly freely. It is suitable for larger choirs, but also performable by as few as 20 singers.
