2017 Holiday Contest Entry
This carol is one of the Christmas seasons
most loved! Originally titled "Luthers Cradle Hymn," "Away in a Manger" was
thought to have been penned by the reformer Martin Luther for his own children;
however, that claim has never been fully substantiated.
In this arrangement for brass
quintet, the memorable melody is simply accompanied by sustained chords. This solemn
setting slowly builds to the third stanza, where the lyric passionately pleads,
"Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay." Your brass group will enjoy
playing this arrangement of a classic Christmas carol!
