Away in a Manger
Away in a manger Kirkpatrick arr Philip Moore
Away in a manger,
no crib for a bed,
The little lord Jesus

Away in a manger,
no crib for a bed,
The little lord Jesus
laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky
looked down where he lay,
The little lord Jesus
asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing,
the baby awakes,
But little lord Jesus
no crying he makes.
I love thee, lord Jesus!
Look down from the sky,
And stay by my side
until morning is nigh.
Be near me, lord Jesus;
I ask thee to stay
Close by me for ever
and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children
in thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven
to live with thee there. less

The video is based on a caricature of me as a choirboy.
This is an improved version using that video but following the words more clearly and also including the words on screen.
The choir sings the 12 days of Christmas but it all goes horribly (or hilariously) wrong.

Some background:
I have sung the traditional version of Good King Wenceslas since I was a kid. I fell in love with the lyrics and the story, but have always been puzzled by the way it was arranged, in particular the way that the "las" of Wenceslas lands on the downbeat. When I was young, I thought the lyrics were actually "Good King Wences last looked out!"
All to say that I got inspired to create a totally different version. I used the 19th century poem by John Mason Neale, but I wanted to create a different "feel" to the story, to take it back in time to its origins in the Middle Ages - hence the medieval feel to much of the piece.
I also felt that since the Wenceslas story is all about a journey, a setting in 3/4 time would create a better sense of that feeling, ra... less
