Two different flute descants for the Christmas hymns Away in a Manger and What Child Is This, with an interlude that connects the hymns, modulating from the key of F major for Away in a Manger to the key of E minor for What Child Is This. Away in a Manger descant is for the AWAY IN A MANGER tune by James R. Murray and is based on the other hymn tune CRADLE SONG by William J. Kirkpatrick. What Child Is This descant is for the traditional GREENSLEEVES tune. Use hymnal or other source for accompaniment; descants for the hymns fit Lutheran Service Book (LSB) and Lutheran Book of Worship (LBW) settings, as well as the Lutheran Worship (LW) setting of What Child Is This. Descants may also fit other hymnal settings. Example: For Christmas Eve or Service of Lessons and Carols, sing the first stanza of each hymn after the reading Luke 2:6-7, with flute solo interlude, such as: - Luke 2:6-7 reading - Hymn: Away in a Manger, stanza 1 (or stanzas 1 and 3, using descant stanza 3) - Flute solo interlude - Hymn: What Child Is This, stanza 1 Or use descants separately and omit interlude.
