Description

I really like carols - believe it or not. I used to sing them when I was in a church choir many years ago!

Silent Night was originally written for guitar by an Austrian guy called Franz Gruber in 1818, I think. My own arragement is all midi stuff - tried to get a guitar sound in there before I found out about Franz Gruber! Also tried to achieve a big organ swell sound in there too.
Lots of penciling and fiddling about with soft synths.

	Correction It was written by Father Joseph Mohr (my Great, Great Uncle). The Choirmaster, Mr. Gruber, provided the music bed and presented the piece as a part of Midnight services that Christmas Eve (same day the Lyric was written!). Quick study, That. Best, Cooper Check out my latest song called Intimate Anyway

	Monumental Harpsichord (guitar) is pristine and delicate. The Choir and Pipe Organ (that occur to me visually) are truly Monumental. (As you note, it was the church choir accompanied by Mr. Gruber on guitar (a Fender Strat, I believe) that comprised the presentation). Best, rtc Check out my latest song called Intimate Anyway

	Monumental LOL! A Fender Strat! Thanks for the info - I will do some checking and change the accompanied notes if necessary. Nice one! --- Beatles - who are they? Check out my latest song called Pavlov's Dog
