Background: these are two tunes generally known by the same name Away In A Manger. The first version we will play was written by William Kirkpatrick and is more popular in England and Ireland where it is often referred to as the Cradle Song. The next version we will play is written by James Murray and is more popular in America. We will alternate back and forth between these two versions in this medley. Both are American compositions.
