Music to touch your spirit. . .

"I might not be a religious man myself but I know good music when I hear it, and this is very good! . . . I don’t think that I have ever given such high ratings to so many songs before. But the fact is that they are well deserved because the music is amazing. Simply wonderful religious ballads and they really get to your heart. . .everytime."

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.

This favorite Christmas hymn was first performed in a small church in the Austrian Alps. The organ was broken down and a song needed to be written that could be played on guitar. Out of this necessity came “Silent Night.” This moving instrumental arrangement begins with soft acoustic guitars to capture that magic moment when the song was first performed. A light tinkling piano breaks in with the melody bringing to life the star-lit night when our Savior was born.

Song Story

As always from this group, sample quality is top notch.  Very beautiful, relaxing, and shows some excellent artistic talent.  A very beautiful piano arrangement for Silent Night! 

Roncli: Trax In Space

 

I doubt if I am alone when I say that this is my favorite Christmas hymn of all time. Interestingly enough the writers of this classic had to come up with it at the last moment. The organ in a small Catholic church in the Austrian Alps was broken down just before Christmas in 1818. Joseph Mohr, the priest, busily took on the task of coming up with some music and scratched out the words to “Silent Night”. He showed them to the organist Franz Gruber who put the words to music.

When the song was first performed it was played on guitar. I wanted to come up with an instrumental arrangement that would bring us back to that moment when this touching song about the birth of Christ was first performed. Naturally, therefore, I began the arrangement with light picking acoustic guitars. Quietly and gently the piano sneaks in to create a mood that captures the wonder of Christ’s birth.

Mohr and Gruber had looked for the perfect Christmas hymn for years. As soon as Gruber saw the lyrics he declared to his pastor, “You have found it -- the right song -- God be praised!” Indeed, Christmas music does not get any better than this.
