Silent Night

Waltz · 3/4 · D major

Silent Night is a well-established traditional Christmas carol with origins that are uncertain beyond its widespread historical association with mid-nineteenth-century European choral traditions. The tune is typically played in a gentle waltz style with a simple 3/4 meter that evokes a calm, lullaby-like character. In performance, it is usually rendered in the key of D major with a flowing, lyrical phrasing suitable for devotional and festive gatherings.
