Mixed Choir (SATB divisi a cappella)
SKU: HL.48025305
SATB divisi a cappella. Composed by Lucy Walker. Boosey & Hawkes Sacred Choral. Choral, Christmas, Classical, General Worship, Sacred. Octavo. 12 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M060140853. Published by Boosey & Hawkes (HL.48025305).
ISBN 9781784548483. UPC: 196288174837. 7.25x10.25x0.044 inches.
This new setting of the traditional text is intended to offer a darker interpretation of the carol. The universally recognised words of “Away in a Manger” are usually associated with one of two well-known melodies. This setting reflects the sometimes-forgotten humility and darkness of the nativity scene, using a folklike minor-mode refrain, and by capturing the lilting atmosphere of a lullaby. Although the carol is structured around three versions of a simple, balanced melody – one for each verse – each verse is characterized by different choral textures to complement the nuance of the text. Darker harmonies are punctuated with more hopeful moments – references to the stars, and the line 'I love thee' – these are marked with brighter sounds and upward melodic gestures woven into the shape of the verse. The final verse shows a more grounded feeling of hope through the use of the major inflection, featuring lighter and warmer tonal colors as we turn our thoughts 'heaven'-wards.
