Description:
Tender and expressive! Two of the most popular settings of the Away in a Manger text give the audience pause to reflect on the meaning of the season. This is one of those beautiful arrangements 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 interpretation. For groups in the middle, remember, it's always good to include a performance piece that does not require too much 'note chasing' so the subtler aspects of the musical art can be examined and reinforced. Charming!
