Love Is Little
SATB with divisi and three (optional) solo parts. An absolutely delectable setting of the Shaker humilty song, beginning simply, then adding texture throughout. Easy, with eight challenging measures, but once you've got it, you've got it. Your choir and congregation will love this. Additional text by the composer.
Recording: A.C. Reynolds High School, Asheville, NC, Phillip Haynie, conductor
Love is little, love is low,
Love will make our spirits grow,
Grow in peace, grow in light,
Love will do the thing that's right.
Love is gentle, love is small,
Love will find the best of all,
Find the peace, find the light,
Love will do the thing that's right.
Love is silent, love is strong,
Love will sing a quiet song,
Sing of peace, sing of light,
Love will do the thing that's right.
Love is wonder, love is grace,
Love will bind all in its place;
Bind the peace, bind the light,
Love will do the thing that's right.
