A Christmas Meditation ("Away in a Manger")
Music: Mack Wilberg based on the William J. Kirkpatrick melody

The familiar account of Christ’s birth found in the Gospel of St. Luke has long been the traditional centerpiece of The Tabernacle Choir’s Christmas concerts. In the 2019 Christmas concert, the Nativity story was presented as a video montage of children reading these beloved words together at Christmastime. As an accompaniment to these readings, Mack Wilberg fashioned this wordless nocturne for chorus and orchestra, based on William J. Kirkpatrick’s melody for the much-loved carol “Away in a Manger.”
