Away in a Manger (aka “Cradle Song” composed by William J. Kirkpatrick)
~ Lied
Anmerkung
listen to this Kirkpatrick melody version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HWW_Away_in_a_manger.ogg
The tune "Cradle Song" was written by William J. Kirkpatrick for the musical Around the World with Christmas (1895) and is an adaptation of the melody originally composed in 1837 by Jonathan E. Spilman to "Sweet Afton", with lyrics to the third stanza likely contributed by Charles H. Gabriel. One example is Sergio Franchi, who covered it on his Billboard Top 40 RCA Victor album, The Heart of Christmas. Thus, there are two different melodies for "Away in a Manger". Each setting has a harmony version for S, A, T, B. the other version is the earlier-published Murray/Mueller composition "Away in a Manger" (first published 1885)
