Manufacturer Part #:

Features:
This new setting of the traditional text is intended to offer a darker interpretation of the carol. The universally recognized words of Away in a Manger are usually associated with one of two well-known melodies. This setting reflects the sometimes-forgotten humility and darkness of the nativity scene, using a folklike minor-mode refrain, and by capturing the lilting atmosphere of a lullaby. Although the carol is structured around three versions of a simple, balanced melody - one for each verse - each verse is characterized by different choral textures to complement the nuance of the text. Darker harmonies are punctuated with more hopeful moments - references to the stars, and the line 'I love thee' - these are marked with brighter sounds and upward melodic gestures woven into the shape of the verse. The final verse shows a more grounded feeling of hope through the use of the major inflection, featuring lighter and warmer tonal colors as we turn our thoughts 'heaven'-wards.
