This is a jazz arrangement of Away in a Manger, the tender nativity carol that first appeared in print in the United States in the late 1880s. Where the original is a quiet cradle song, this version adds soft swing, gentle piano and a smooth, lounge-warm glow while keeping its lullaby heart.
Our Love to Sing choir sings it smoothly and clearly, so the words stay easy to follow beneath the relaxed groove. It's a lovely mood-setter for carol services, classroom listening and cozy evenings at home.
