Meditation No.4

Suitable for the classical pianist who is looking for a sophisticated piece to play during the Christmas season. "Away in a Manger" is often considered a children's Christmas song, but the meaning is just as relevant to adults. In this reimagining of the classic carol, using three commonly known melodies, Be Near Me Lord Jesus is a moving musical meditation on the nearness of Christ to God's children, through all the difficulties and joys of life. A brief quote of "Be Thou My Vision" expresses the believer's desire to see the fulfillment of the promise of eternal life, "May I reach Heaven's joys, O bright Heav'n's Sun!"
