Child in a Manger

The tune for Child in a Manger first appeared as the hymn tune BUNESSAN, composed in the Scottish Inner Hebrides and published in 1900 as a Christmas carol with lyrics translated from the Scottish Gaelic by Mary McDonald. The hymn tune later appeared in Songs of Praise, published in 1931 with different lyrics as Morning Has Broken. This arrangement represents one in a series of band arrangements compatible with David Willcocks' Carols for Choirs.
