Christmas Sheet Music: Silent Night
Silent night, holy night…This charming music comes along with me from my childhood through all years passed… What would be with Christmas celebration if an Austrian composer Franz Xaver Gruber had never composed Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht? Written December 24, 1818 and performed that very day, this music became very famous during the next two centuries and now it is one of the most popular Christmas carols. It is always so astonishing when a song becomes worldwide popular, when every child in the world knows, enjoys and sings this song. And definitely the Silent Night (Stille Nacht) is absolutely magic song. Listen to it once and you will never forget it. It makes you feel happy; it gives you taste of coming Christmas, joy and pleasure. Numerous musicians have made arrangements and cover versions of the Silent Night for any kind of instrument, voice or ensemble. I enjoy playing the piano arrangements of the Silent Night (Stille Nacht).
There are of course many other beautiful Christmas carols. My other favorite carol is Oh Holy Night.
You can download Christmas sheet music and enjoy playing and singing Silent Night (Stille Nacht) or Oh Holy Night as well as numerous other beautiful carols.
