This bilingual arrangement of Silent Night alternates between Spanish and English verses. Ruth pays careful attention to expressive phrasing, voice leading, and tessitura, making it easy for school, community, and church choirs to prepare and perform. The flowing piano part and an optional flute obbligato bring a peaceful sense of reverence. Teach it this year and sing it for years to come.
