little tree/little silent Christmas tree/you are so little/you are more like a flower Just as in e.e. cummings' poem a child expresses intricate thoughts in simple language, this short a cappella work uses only major and minor chords, though the melodies may be quite chromatic. Premiered by The Western Wind Vocal Ensemble.
