This arrangement of a sweet Austrian Christmas carol employs cascading lines to enhance the lyrical melody. The AFTON WATER tune for "Away In a Manger" is used as a countermelody. Although the chimes are listed as optional, the tone color variation between bells and chimes helps listeners hear the juxtaposition of the two tunes and adds depth to this piece.
