The Lord in the Manger
Choir (SATB) a cappella.
1999
Originally drafted in the early 1980s, The Lord in the Manger was revised in 1999 for a Christmas program at Blacknall Memorial Presbyterian Church (Durham, NC). It was first included in the Belhaven University Singing Christmas Tree in 2007, marking the Tree's 75th anniversary. It has been performed on the Tree annually since then, as well as Christmas programs in several students' home churches.
The score may be freely duplicated and performed in its original form. If you see fit to use it, please contact me to let me know how it is received.
