Away in a Manger (Cradle Song)

Away in a Manger (Cradle Song) is another addition to the Color Chorded catalog by Headless Mallets Publishing. The traditional hymn lyrics set to the hymn tune Cradle Song. Color Chorded makes handbells and handchimes immediately accessible! Color Chorded is a system for ringing handbells and/or handchimes with singing. The system works well for non-music readers of all ages on both handbells and handchimes. The director points to each colored block as the music progresses across the page. Instructions and tips are included in each packet which contains an Assignments/Equipment Page, notated Melody, a Lyrics Lead Sheet, and Color Chorded Chart. More titles are available in the Color Chorded catalog through Headless Mallets Publishing. The Color Chorded system has been used by creator Lauran Delancy with childrens chime choirs as young as 3 years old and also with older adults with great success.
