for SATB and piano or harp
Higgins's arrangement of Away in a manger is beautiful and delicate. The first verse is taken by unison upper voices or a soloist; the second is a cappella, with a soprano melody and sustained 'ooh's; and the last verse features fresh, homophonic harmonies. The piano/harp accompaniment twinkles gently around the voices, contributing towards the magical character of the piece.
