Silent Night

• Composer: Franz Gruber 
• Arranger: Winnie Brückner 
• Publisher: Helbling Chormusik
• Canadian Work: No
• Duration: 3:47

Conductor Notes:

SSAA a cappella. Winnie’s harmonies are haunting and fresh in this simple, homophonic arrangement. As with her other arrangement performed in our 2015 concert, the parts are low, so not suited to very young voices. Note that this arrangement is available for purchase separately or in the “Silent Night” collection of arrangements by Winnie.

Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child,
Holy Infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar.
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.

Silent night, holy night!
Son of God, love’s pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace.
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.
