The Majestic Manger—Ed Steele & Michael
Barrett. The quiet unison opening paints
a picture of the infant Prince of Peace in
the manger who has come to take our sin.
Intensity builds as the choir enters with "Crown
Him King, crown Him Lord!" The center section
is a statement of Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne.
Unison voices return to the Prince of Peace
imagery, again building in choral texture and
intensity until the closing tag, "O come to my
heart, Lord Jesus!"

A Manger So Far from Home—Patricia
Mock/arr. Faye Lopez. Based on Away in a

exchanged heaven's glories for a lowly
manger, a message with particular resonance
for distant friends and relatives, refugees, and
the homeless: not everyone is "home for the
holidays." Subtly shifting vocal textures from
verse to verse and the option of adding a
children's choir ensure a memorable reflection.
