This arrangement of the traditional German Christmas carol Ihr Kinderlein, kommet presents the familiar melody in an upbeat swing setting for solo vibraphone. The piece adopts a lively tempo and a light, jazz-inflected character, while the original tune remains clearly recognisable.
The arrangement allows for flexibility in performance and encourages an idiomatic, improvisatory approach based on chord symbols and form.
The work is included in the collection Alle Jahre Vibra and is recorded on the album of the same name.
