A wonderful new Christmas song by John Gleadall. A reworking of ‘Away in a Manger’ in a Gospel style with a great contrapuntal chorus with three melodies coming together to finish the song. This is a challenge - but totally worthwhile, the end result is superb! There is a short musical interlude in the middle, ready for an appropriate reading as a voice over. I’ve done this from year 3 to full church choirs. It’s my favourite composition!
You have the demo, the backing track and the lyrics and score in this package.
As a ‘home learning aid’ I’ve recorded the parts individually and put them on my website, also on You Tube - so you can send your choir home and ask them to learn part 1, 2 or three at home - there’s NEVER enough rehearsal time. Please let me know if this is helpful.
Also there’s a You Tube demo of the song
By the way you should obviously get your sweetest, dearest child to sing the ‘Away In A Manger’ solo at the top of the song!
This is from ‘The Nativity Play’ - also available on TES resources.
