Silent Night

The lovely Christmas classic (many consider it to be the quintessential Christmas Carol) was composed almost spontaneously by a country church musician for his friend just before a Christmas Eve service. The range of this melody is quite large (an octave and a 5th). Therefore, while the traditional melody is in Bb (a soothing key appropriate for the sweetly solemn musical setting), lowering it to A can make it a little easier on the voice. Both keys are provided below.
