In a Manger Lowly

This clever juxtaposition and combination of two well-known Christmas carols (MUELLER and the Polish carol, W ZLOBIE LEZY), scored for two-part chorus, keyboard, guitar, and cello is sure to delight. Additional parts for double bass and glockenspiel are available as a separate download. Introduced by melodic fragments that are somewhat motivic to both carols, verse 1 eventually emerges with the familiar _x001C_ away in a manger_x001D_ lyrics. Verse 2, using the same melody, is in canon. Verse 3 introduces the Polish carol and the fourth verse combines the two.
