Silent Night Guitar solo Composed by Franz Xaver Gruber. Arranged by PianoSheetNow. 21st Century, 20th Century, Romantic Period, Classical Period, Christmas. Sheet Music Single, Tablature. 3 pages. Published by PianoSheetNow (S0.356593).
The Christmas Carol Silent Night has interesting beginnings. The Church Organ in the parish church of Obedorf had stopped working. It was Christmas Eve 1818 but Joseph Mohr had the idea of setting a poem he had written to music. He gave the words to the organist Franz Xaver Gruber. In a short time Gruber had written the lovely melody we know today. He accompanied Silent Night on the guitar and it was played at the Christmas Eve service for the first time. So it is very apt to play Silent Night on the guitar either as a Guitar Solo or as an accompaniment to voices.
