This engaging setting of the English carol, STOWEY (How Far Is it to Bethlehem) also incorporates the CRADLE SONG tune of Away in a Manger and snippets of Brahms Lullaby. The first 2 stanzas are full-chord settings of the two carols with short interludes connecting the two. The last stanza returns to How Far Is It to Bethlehem rung on handchimes beneath a descant played with mallets on suspended handchimes. The use of mallets is optional. The setting is accessible for young ringers, but also effective and enjoyable for more experienced ringers.
