| Description: "Three Silent Nights" combines three favorite pieces of the holiday season. "All Through the Night" starts this arrangement with energy before the tempo slows down, the key modulates from G Major to D Major, and the meter changes for the meditative "Silent Night". This crescendos gradually into the lyrical melody "O, Holy Night" for a dramatic conclusion. First violins, cellos, and basses will encounter some shifting, while all players get to work on a variety of finger patterns. A beautiful medley for a night of winter music! |
