Both of the familiar melodies for Away in a Manger are incorporated into this beautiful arrangement that is a worthwhile endeavor for bands at every level of ability. Younger groups can work on shaping phrases, balancing chords, blending the ensemble and so much more, while advanced groups have the mastery to explore their own deeply expressive and freely conducted interpretations. And for groups “in the middle,” it's always good to include a performance piece that doesn't require too much “note chasing” so that the subtler aspects of the musical art can be examined and reinforced. Tender and expressive.
