THE SMALLEST SONG, a setting of a text by American poet Martha Collins, is a gentle piece, full of warmth and intimate emotion. The wordplay in the text is matched in the composition; phrases are slightly altered, inverted and developed as the work builds. Jazz-like harmonies infuse the piece with a soothing vitality throughout.

“A very sensitive setting of a beautiful text – easily accessible for use by college and more advanced high school choral groups – colored by gentle harmonies and a subtle, understated melody,  Rich has captured the essence of the poem and placed it in a very moving context.”
