Review:
A medley of "Away in a Manger" (CRADLE SONG), "There's a Song in the Air" (CHRISTMAS SONG), and "The Holly and the Ivy", this setting calls for two bell trees (tree 1: A6-F7; tree 2: C6-Bb6), optional 3 octaves of handchimes, and percussion (finger cymbals, tambourine, hand drum). Mallets on suspended bells in the upper accompaniment with chimes on the melody provides a shimmery look at the manger scene. This piece is 132 measures and is scored in F Major, G Major, and E Major.
