SILENT NIGHT SSAATB, unaccompanied WW1893 arr. Jēkabsone SILENT NIGHT SSAATB Arranged by Laura Jēkabsone About the Work Franz Xaver Gruber’s Silent Night was included in the repertoire of a cappella group Latvian Voices at the end of 2018, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the song. The idea to work on this piece’s arrangement arose already at the end of 2017, returning home from the Latvian Voices concert tour. In complete silence, I realized that the first bars of this song was playing in my head, again and again, so I sat down at the piano and started to write it down. Arranging this popular Christmas melody, I deviate from the song’s classical sound, dressing it in close harmony chords. -Laura Jēkabsone Silent Night Silent night, holy night! Silent night, holy night! All is calm, all is bright Son of God, love’s pure light, round yon virgin mother and child! radiant, beams from thy holy face Holy infant, so tender and mild, with the dawn of redeeming grace, sleep in heavenly peace, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth, sleep in heavenly peace. Jesus, Lord, at thy birth! 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!” About the Arranger Laura Jēkabsone (1985) is a Latvian composer, singer, conductor, vocal coach, and artistic director and singer in the vocal group Latvian Voices.
