Franz Xaver Gruber
Written in D major, range D4 to G5
A silent, holy night: all is calm and bright around a mother and her newborn child, sleeping in heavenly peace. Joseph Mohr and Franz Xaver Gruber first sang it on Christmas Eve 1818 in Oberndorf near Salzburg, with Mohr playing the guitar; the piano part is the hymn harmony from the Pilgrim Hymnal (1912).
