Jacob de Haan wrote this arrangement for concert band, fanfare band and brass band and optional male voice choir. The original carol was written by the Austrian composer and organist Franz Gruber (1787-1863). He was asked to write Silent Night on the 24th of December 1818 by the priest of the Church of St. Nicolas in Oberndorf, who had himself written the text. It is a romantic carol, with nuances of contemporary Austrian folk and Italian pastorale music.

Jacob de Haan maakte dit arrangement voor blaasorkest met eventueel een mannenkoor. Het originele kerstlied werd geschreven door de Oostenrijkse componist en organist Franz Gruber (1787-1863). Stille Nacht componeerde hij op 24 december 1818 in opdracht van de priester van de Sint Nikolaaskerk van Oberndorf, die de tekst voor dit lied zelf had geschreven.Stille Nacht is romantisch van karakter, heeft trekken van de Oostenrijkse volksmuziek van die tijd, evenals enkele kenmerken van de Italiaanse pastorale muziek.

Le 24 decembre 1818, Franz Gruber (1787-1863), compositeur et organiste autrichien, mettait en musique un texte redige par le pretre de sa paroisse. Il ne se doutait pas que sa composition deviendrait l'un des noels les plus celebres. Stille Nacht (Douce Nuit) est un chant romantique et lyrique alliant les caracteristiques de la musique traditionnelle autrichienne d'alors, a celles des pastorales italiennes.

UPC: 785147900702. English. Text Source: Based on Luke 6:27–36, Psalm 103:8, 13, Colossians 3:12–13, Corporal Works of Mercy, adapt. MH. Scripture: Luke 6:27–36, Psalm 103:8, 13, Colossians 3:12–13.

The text of “Be Merciful,” drawn from Luke, reminds us to be merciful to others as God is merciful to us, the verses provide concrete examples. Alternate choral settings for the verses (two-part and “backup”) offer some variety. The relaxed tone suggests natural use as a prelude or even at the preparation of gifts, post-Communion, or other times of reflection. Originally written for the Jubilee Year of Mercy, this song will be appropriate as long as the need for mercy remains.
