Come To The Manger
An accompanied sax trio (A-A-A/T) opening with an exciting motive. The first rendition is in block harmonies with occasional rhythmic punctuations.

Another modulation ensues where imitative motives take place through the voices only to come together in a solid fashion for an exciting ending.
