Easy Piano - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.752581 Composed by William J. Kirkpatrick. Arranged by Hannah Hawken. Children,Christian,Christmas,Romantic Period. Score. 4 pages. Hannah Hawken #6642617. Published by Hannah Hawken (A0.752581). This is a beginner piano arrangement of the William J. Kirkpatrick Cradle Song, the most commonly used tune for Away in a Manger in the UK and Ireland and other countries outside of the US. I've transposed the melody to Bb major so it can be played by beginner pianists in Middle C Position and the flats are written as accidentals rather than a key signature. This would be a great piece to use to introduce flats or quavers to beginners using a familiar melody.The optional teacher part really fills out the arrangement for performances.
