Away In A Manger - Brass Band - LM304

COMPOSER : Kirkpatrick & Mueller
ARRANGER : John van Gulik

A new arrangement in time for Christmas using two of the most popular tunes for Away in a Manager.

The first tune commonly known as Kirkpatrick, starts off with the Euphonium which is gradually joined in turn by all the instruments. Further into the piece, the also commonly used tune Mueller is introduced.

This should be a fairly straightforward piece to play however there are some complex harmonies involved and some long sustained playing that needs to be cover phrased.

This arrangement is based around the Salvation Army Brass Band line up and the scoring is as follows

Soprano Cornet - 1st Cornet - 2nd Cornet - Flugel - 1st Horn - 2nd Horn - Baritone - 1st Trombone - 2nd Trombone - Bass Trombone - Euphonium - Eb Bass - Bb Bass - Percussion - Timpani - Glockenspiel

Alternative parts for the lower brass include

All horn parts in F

Baritone, Trombone, Euphonium and Basses all with alternative parts in Bass Clef
