Manger Lullaby
"A Manger Lullaby" - a charming and beautifully crafted medley of cradleside carols with small snippets of Brahms' "Lullaby" and "Silent Night" - features the hymn tunes MUELLER ("Away in the Manger"), GREENSLEEVES and CRADLE SONG (another tune for "Away in a Manger"). Each has its own personality and the tunes are skillfully woven together with thoughtful transitions in this solid, 'upper end of a Level 3' arrangement.
High treble ringers enjoy a little extra challenge with 16th notes (by request of the commissioners). Rich chromatic passages will reward your ringers and audience with grace and drama – and a fresh take on these beloved carols. An optional, medium-difficult Bell Tree (15/16 or 19 bells (G5) A5-C7 - opt. Db, D, Eb, F7) or C instrument part (replacing some lines in the main score, marked with brackets) is included.
This score was revised in 2025: primarily adding bass chimes to the first section, but also eliminating some redundant accidentals and cleaning up some notation issues. No notes were changed, so the original edition still works fine (you can easily write in the newly added bass chime notes).
This fully orchestrated piece by Kathleen Wissinger is perfect for Copper or even Bronze festivals as it covers 3-7 octaves of bells and 3-6 octaves of chimes, skillfully including all ringers in a variety of voicings, melodic leads, chromatic passages, and three key changes. It is also ideal for worship and Christmas, Advent, or Epiphany concerts. Commissioned “To Celebrate the life of Michael David Nelson (1969-1976) and the 40th Anniversary of the First Baptist Church Handbell Choir, Madison, WI.” 4:00 performance time.
