There are 3 variations of the piece so that the listener and player will not get bored. The lyrics of the Silent Night were written by a German priest, Joseph Mohr, in 1816. While he was on a pilgramage to a church in Mariapfarr, Austria, he was inspired by the beauty of the snow covered mountains and valleys that he wrote a poem that described the setting and the birth of Christ. He presented his poem to his musical director, Franz Gruber in 1818, who wrote the melody for the guitar. An Episcopalian priest, John Freeman Young, translated the lyrics from German to English in 1859. This is the sheet music for voice, violin and piano transposed to the key of A and in 3/4 time. There are lyrics in this sheet music. With lyrics, chords, melody and harmony, I hope you like this rendition of Silent Night.
