Matthew Whittall: love is a place – Three Songs after E.E. Cummings for mixed choir

In this set of love songs “love is a place” after one of the great poets of the genre, Matthew Whittall wanted to create a sense of progression from various phases of that universal feeling – falling in love, building a life with a partner, the birth of children, death and loss – but one in which the individual songs could describe any of these stages, and sometimes several. The three songs can be performed in any order, as they all hover around the approximate key of D major and the same soft harmonic palette. Total duration ca. 7 min. Buy now
