How Quietly

Written for adult choir with optional children's choir or soloist, this pairing of an original composition with a Christmas classic affords a unique way to present "Away in a Manger" during the holiday season. The simple part for the children's voices fits perfectly with Raney's gentle, original lullaby. The flowing piano accompaniment provides a lush underpinning for this re-telling of the night Christ was born. This setting originally appeared in Joel Raney's popular Christmas musical, Celebrate the Season.
