O Little One Sweet was commissioned by Simon Bell for the Chapel Choir of Dean Close School and Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum. Each verse of the carol becomes more animated and moves further harmonically, to reflect the increasing emotional richness of the text (based on Percy Dearmer’s translation of the original German by Samuel Scheidt). Mostly homophonic with only occasional divisi, and with rewarding harmonic appeal, this carol is suitable for intermediate choirs’ Christmas services or concerts.
