Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1084448 By Jubal's Lyre Music. By Martin Dicke. Christian,Christmas,Holiday,Sacred,Traditional. Score. 6 pages. Jubal's Lyre Music Publishers #688629. Published by Jubal's Lyre Music Publishers (A0.1084448). The beloved Christmas carol Silent Night (STILLE NACHT) is offered here in a unique setting for piano using both the original melody (mm. 1-64) and the melody commonly sung today (mm. 65-88). First sung on Christmas Eve in 1818 to a lilting 6/8 melody composed in the manner of Austrian folksong, this carol was soon sung the world over. Over the years the melody has changed slightly and only three of the six original verses are sung. After presenting both melodies, this setting ends with a surprising and delightful Coda using the full range of the piano. The setting provides an opportunity to discuss the history of the carol and will be a welcome addition to Christmas celebrations of all kinds. It is part of the series CAROLS FOR PIANO that contains many more original and delightful settings and arrangements for your Christmas celebrations, recitals, or worship services.
