SILENT NIGHT - 1/2/3 Bb TREBLE INSTRUMENTS with Piano Accompaniment
This is a flexible arrangement! Suitable for any combination of Clarinet, Trumpet, Soprano Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, and Baritone Treble Clef. Could be used for school, church or community.
It can be presented with 1, 2 or 3 instruments (or more!) and it is possible to play 1, 2 or all 3 verses.
The First part plays the melody all the way through and the part is identical on all 3 verses except for the key.
The Second part adds harmony to verses 2 and 3.
The Third part adds an obligato part on the Introduction and Verse 3. (this could be a teacher/adult/advanced student part if the other part(s) are played by students)
Parts for Flute (part 2) and Violin/Glockenspiel (part 1) have been added - just in case!
To contribute to the feel of a Silent Night, the piano part has been kept intentionally simple. Verse 3 can be played without the piano part, if desired, to add dramatic impact to the last verse. You can use any verse by itself, as each is a self-contained unit. If you want the melody alone, you can skip the Introduction to Verse 1 and start right on Measure 5 with the melody (you could even leave out the piano part!) There is an alternate Part 2 that is transposed up an octave for Tenor Saxophone or Clarinet. There is an alternate part 3 that is transposed down an octave. I wanted to provide you with the flexibility to match the parts to the players.
