Away in a Manger (copy license)

Description

The Away in a Manger text (authorship unknown) is often sung to James Ramsey Murray’s famous tune built on a descending major scale and is one of the most well-known Christmas carols.

This arrangement for treble voices, flute, cello, and organ employs the second most widely known melody by William J. Kirkpatrick. It works well in traditional worship services and sacred concerts and is appropriate for young singers.
