A placid
accompaniment figure
reminiscent of falling
snow opens this setting,
providing a serene sound
world for the beloved
SILENT NIGHT, HOLY NIGHT.
As the upper voices
disappear with the first
verse, the lower voices
enter above a slightly
more stirring
accompaniment pattern.
The third verse opens the
heavens to reveal the
radiant beams in
rapturous glory before
returning us to the
tranquil opening night
scene. The optional
string orchestra adds
depth and texture to the
backdrop, offering a
meaningful expression to
any concert.
