Noche de paz: alto part

The alto part of Noche de paz in C, from B3 to A4. Hear it on its own or with the others, then sing it and watch each note light up.

Sings the words a third or a sixth under the tune about three quarters of the time, mostly a third, most often on E, up to its top A once in each of the third and fourth lines of every verse, on "astros" and "anunciando", "celestes" and "glorias", "rostro" and "pesebre,", and down to its low B on "Todo", "En el" and "Ved qué" at the start of the second line, through "Brilla la estrella", "Por nuestro buen Re-" and "Astro de eterno" in the fifth line, and on the last "estrella", "buen" and "eterno", crossing above the tune only on the last two notes of each verse, "de paz.", the end of "Redentor." and "fulgor.".

About Noche de paz

Words: Spanish words after Joseph Mohr's German (1816), as printed, unsigned, in El Himnario evangélico (New York, 1893); often credited to Federico Fliedner (in 13 of the 18 hymnals from 1990 on that Hymnary.org indexes), though no printing we have seen before 1964 names him

Tune: Franz Xaver Gruber (1818)

Noche de paz is Silent Night in Spanish, after Joseph Mohr's German words of 1816, to Franz Xaver Gruber's tune of 1818. The earliest known printing of these Spanish words is in El Himnario evangélico (New York, 1893). It calls the tune by an English name, "Holy Night", and names no one: not Gruber, not Mohr, nor whoever wrote the Spanish. The words are often credited to Federico Fliedner, in 13 of the 18 hymnals from 1990 on that Hymnary.org indexes, but no printing we have seen before 1964 names him. In 1893 the second verse's second line was "En el campo al pastor"; today's "Oye humilde el fiel pastor" has its earliest known printing in a New York hymnal of 1915. We sing all three verses of the 1893 hymnal, in C, lilting in 6/8, with four parts of our own, for 2 to 4 singers.
