Everyone knows Away In A Manger, but that doesn’t stop it being a sublimely, serenely, beautiful carol.

I’ve tried to make this arrangement as accessible as possible, and the “flexible” mention on the title page means that it’s possible to play without all the parts. The greatest richness of harmony is achieved with everyone there, but it still sounds lovely in the following reduced combinations:

Melody / Melody & Descant / Harmony 1;

Melody / Harmony 1 / Harmony 2 (this is particularly suitable for conservative players who think I’m tampering with a perfectly good carol by adding a descant);

Melody / Harmony 1 / Harmony-2-for-the-first-two-verses-then-switching-to-Descant;

It’s even effective with just Melody / Harmony 1 if you’re really short of players!

Whatever you choose to do, I’m sure you’ll bring pleasure to a lot of listeners...
