Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.917500 Composed by Franz Xaver Gruber. Arranged by D. E. Mathers. 20th Century,Christmas,Contemporary,Sacred. Score. 5 pages. D. Eugene Mathers #4883305. Published by D. Eugene Mathers (A0.917500). This version makes for a highly evocative, poetic rendering of Silent Night, one equally useful as either recital number or church solo, or even as striking incidental music for theatrical production and readings. Lasting approximately three minutes, this arrangement reconfigures the carol's traditional musical idiom into a contemporary classical setting both captivating in poetic mood and unusually effective in its spatial and timbral design. The musical style may be considered Coplandesque in its use of widely spaced, pandiatonic sonorities.
