CHRISTMAS ANTHEMS
A Manger So Far from Home—Patricia Mock/
arr. Faye Lopez. Based on Away in a Manger
(
CRADLE SONG), this flexibly voiced anthem
resonates with the truth that Christ 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.

captured the epic drama of the text,
pondering the baby's purpose on earth.
"Mary, did you know that your baby boy
would someday walk on water?"
