Play a Wintry Arrangement of “Silent Night”

“Silent Night” is a compilation of night-related tunes coupled with this classic Christmas carol. Winter time—with its short days and long nights—is an ideal time to reflect on the hours after sunset. The pieces selected by arranger Renata Bratt for inclusion in this quartet arrangement include the Christmas carol “Silent Night”—the melody was composed in 1818 by the German composer Franz Xaver Gruber for a Christmas Eve service at the Nikolaus-Kirche (Church of St. Nicholas) in Oberndorf, Austria—and excerpts from "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" ("A Little Night Music"), a serenade composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1787; and Alexander Borodin’s Nocturne (Night), the third movement from his String Quartet No. 2 (1881). This melody also was used in the 1953 Broadway show Kismet and retitled “And This Is My Beloved.”

In this new Strings Charts edition, “Silent Night” has been paired with “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,” both arranged for string quartet.

Order the Strings Charts edition of the Christmas carol “Silent Night,” paired with “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen.” Both arranged for string quartet, these alternative takes on your favorite festive tunes are must-haves for the holiday season. Celebrate the season by ordering this new edition of Strings Charts today.
