Silent Night arranged for Tuba & Piano with new harmony for the final verse. Score: 2 pg. Part: 1 pg. Silent Night Origins Father Joseph Mohr wrote the lyrics for a new Christmas Carol. He wanted the new carol for his Christmas Eve Mass. With only a couple of hours until the service, He asked organist and schoolteacher Franz Gruber to write a melody and simple accompaniment to go with the lyrics. The result is probably the most famous of all Christmas carols – Silent Night. First Performance Perhaps because the organ was undergoing repairs, or to make sure the accompaniment was easy enough, Mohr asked Gruber to write it for the guitar. Mohr played the guitar, and both Mohr and Gruber gave the world premiere performance at the Christmas Eve Mass in 1818 at St. Nicholas Church in Oberndorf in Salzburg. Original Score Eventually, the original score became lost, and consequently, Mohr's name was largely forgotten.  Though the public originally recognized Gruber as the composer, many people over time began rumors that a more famous composer was responsible. Thus, they floated the names of Haydn, Mozart, and even Beethoven. Authorities eventually settled the matter when a manuscript in Mohr’s handwriting turned up in 1820. Consequently, we learn that Mohr wrote the lyrics in 1816, and Gruber composed the melody in 1818. Popularity Nonetheless, Silent Night is still very popular. Singers have performed this song in nearly every genre and in multiple languages. Perhaps the most famous version is the one Bing Crosby crafted. This version is the third best-selling physical single recording in the history of recorded music. This particular recording was released in 1935 and sold at least 30 million copies. Only two songs have ever sold more. Elton John released Candle in the Wind in 1997 and sold 33 million copies. The record for most copies ever sold goes to Bing Crosby. He released White Christmas in 1942 and sold 50 million physical copies.  Register for free lifetime updates and revisions at www.jamesguthrie.com    

Easy Piano - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.762291 Composed by Lori Cummings. Children,Instructional. Score. 2 pages. Lori Cummings #3530755. Published by Lori Cummings (A0.762291). Dog Food... I hope that caught your attention!  Just like the Cows Eat Grass song was to help beginner students to learn the spaces of  C Position in the bass clef, Dog Food is designed to help remember the two lines in that position: D and F! I found that teaching the lines of the bass clef as Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always was always being confused with Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge.  So with the help of some of my first students, we came up with the saying, Grandma Buys Dog Food Always because Grandma's puppy needs to be fed and Grandpa is out tending the cows (who eat grass!).  So the lines we use in C Position are Dog and Food.  Just as in Cows Eat Grass we had visual cues in each space, Dog Food uses a picture of a dog and a picture of his food for each note.  Students have great fun with the different combination of notes and rhythms and will have an easy time remembering the names of these two lines.
