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.

Stille Nacht wurde vom osterreichischen Komponisten und Organisten Franz Gruber am 24. Dezember 1818 im Auftrag des Priesters der St. Nikolaus-Kirche in Oberndorf geschrieben. Wer hatte damals geahnt, dass dieses Lied mit seinem romantischen Charakter einmal in 150 Sprachen ubersetzt auf der ganzen Welt gesungen werden wurde? Jacob de Haan schrieb dieses gelungene Arrangement fur Blasorchester mit Mannerchor ad. lib.

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.

The Lark In The Clear Air is a traditional Irish air. Since the 1800s, it has been associated with a poem by the Irish writer Sir Samuel Ferguson (1810-1886), one of the founding fathers of the Irish literary revival. It has been arranged here by Edgar M. Deale for TBarB Three-part Male Voice Chorus, with Piano accompaniment. It makes a perfect recital item for any Male Voice Choir.

Edgar M. Deale (1902-1999) was a twentieth century Irish composer. A former chorister at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, he was largely self-taught as a composer. His output was limited to a few dozen original works and arrangements, but hiscontribution to Irish music is gradually achieving the recognition it deserves.
