About Silent Night

Words: Joseph Mohr (1816); English words John Freeman Young (1859)

Tune: Franz Xaver Gruber (1818)

Silent Night has German words by Joseph Mohr from 1816 and a tune by Franz Xaver Gruber, written when Mohr asked him for music for two solo voices and choir, with guitar. It was first sung that way at Christmas Eve Mass in 1818. The English words are John Freeman Young's from 1859. This arrangement is the first verse for 2 to 4 singers. The tune runs wide, from low C to high F, so take the edges gently or move the key. The alto sings a third below most of the way, the tenor holds G and C, and the bass holds the low notes on "oo".
