| Description: Based upon the traditional carol 'Away in a Manger,' this setting for full or string orchestra explores contempoary harmonies and textures. The carol is structured in 4/4 time as opposed to the customary 3/4 time, which allows the listener to enjoy the melody from a totally new perspective. This innovative arrangement will complete any holiday program. |
