This carol is one of the Christmas season’s most loved! Originally titled "Luther’s Cradle Hymn," "Away in a Manger" was thought to have been penned by the reformer Martin Luther for his own children; however, that claim has never been fully substantiated.
In this delicate arrangement for solo piano, the memorable melody is simply accompanied by sustained chords. This setting slowly builds to the third stanza, where the pianist is challenged with some octaves in both the right and left hands. In this climactic statement, the lyric passionately pleads, "Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay."
Both late intermediate and advanced pianists will enjoy playing this arrangement of a classic Christmas carol!
