{"product_id":"afw-48025305","title":"Away in a Manger","description":"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.","brand":"Boosey \u0026 Hawkes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50547467812943,"sku":"AFW-48025305","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/1271\/8671\/files\/AFW-48025305.jpg?v=1790680472","url":"https:\/\/amadeussheetmusic.com\/products\/afw-48025305","provider":"Amadeus Sheet Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
