On the quiet side, his arrangement of Away in a Manger is very fresh and
lovely. I sang it last year and intend to use it again this year.

I LOVE Mark Hayes' arrangements. I just got a new book of hymn tune/gospel
song arrangements and he has an arrangement of Joncas' "On Eagles Wings" that
rids us once and for all of the calypso-type accompaniment that accompanied
the original. I've done it for a funeral recently and got an overwhelming
response.
