The great thing about the carol "Away In a Manger" is that is has two official, widely-accepted melodies: "The Cradle Song" and "Mueller" variations. The latter - which I used for this arrangement - has a descending, lullaby-like melody, and is most common in the U.S.
This D major version is tranquil and light - great for exercising subtle dynamic techniques:
