Away in a Manger

This anthem for the Christmas season lends itself to smaller choirs. An original tune, RIDERWOOD, moves from unison statements, first by women's voices, then by men's, to a third verse of contrapuntal treatment by the altos and men, graced by "ahs" from the sopranos. Piano or organ quietly and aptly fill in the aural scene along with an optional flute part. Try this new setting of an old favorite.
