Simple but rich arrangement of the most beloved German Christmas Carol,
Sheet music available now at [ Ссылка ]


This is my Grandma’s favorite carol and anytime she hears a few notes, she starts singing in German! I wanted to emphasizes that clear ringing of the melody, the real simplicity a sort of church bells through cold air so I play the whole first verse with “harmonics.”
I tend to overcomplicate things, make them busy and embroidered, that taking still time is really a challenge. But “Jesus, Lord at Thy birth,” is such a simple but rich idea, it deserved a rich but simple arrangement. So I made a version perfect for bringing the space and stillness into any church, performance or student's repertoire.

Lyrics
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
'Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy Infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.


Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight;
Glories stream from heaven afar;
Heav'nly hosts sing "alleluia!
Christ, the Savior, is born!
Christ, the Savior, is born!"


Silent night, holy night!
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.




Lyrics by Joseph Mohr
