So many nice Christmas songs being posted here this year. I thought I would make my contribution. There have already been a couple versions of Silent Night, but this is one of my favorite carols, so I did my own little arrangement of it. It's kinda thrown together, and I haven't taken the time to really listen critically to it or tweak it. Very busy these days. I hope you enjoy this one. Merry Christmas! Silent Night
All RT's and RD's, with a little orchestration I played with Logic VSTi's. All the vocals are me (once again, cheap labor). Here are the RealTracks/RealDrums used...RealTracks in song: 777:Bass, Acoustic, PopWaltz Ev 085 (A:simple) RealTracks in song: 780:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopWaltz Ev 085 (A:simple) RealTracks in song: 2053:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CountryWaltzBrent Sw 085 RealTracks in song: 981:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryWaltzCleanHeld Sw 085 RealTracks in song: 1285:Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryWaltzBrent Sw 085 RealDrums in Song: JazzWaltzTerryClarke^1-a:Brushes , b:Sticks, Ride Busy

Hi Steve,
Your arrangement and presentation is hauntingly wonderful. I have to hand it to you, some of the chords you've chosen are truly inspired; very very nice.
To my mind, "Silent Night" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
I thoroughly enjoyed what you've 'thrown' together. I wish I could throw songs together as well as that!
May joy and peace be a light to you and your family,
Noel

Hey Steve,
My, my, my, I'd surely love be able to throw something together like this....
What an absolutely gorgeous arrangement. Like Noel said, it's hauntingly wonderful. I'd pick out something I especially like but I love everything about it!
God bless you and Merry Christmas.
Josie

Nice..... I agree on the chord choices. I really appreciate it when composers think outside of the box when it comes to chords.
Nice RT's too as has been pointed out.

Hi Steve
thoroughly professional throughout.
Franz Gruber would love this!
Smooth mix and great vocals mix too - the harmonies just where they need to be.
I enjoyed this so much.
Cheers

Just beautiful voice and harmonies, Steve. Crisp and clear with great articulation on the end of the phrases. The RT package you put together works really nicely. Thanks for sharing!

I finally got some time to listen to some new songs and this was first on the list. All I can say is WOW. This is one great job.
I’m with Noel in that I wish I could throw something together and have it come out this good!
Merry Christmas Steve.

A really nice arrangement and vocal. Often the oft played Christmas songs run right by me...but this got and held my attention. I can't really put my finger on it -- it just grabbed me. I think it's the ethereal feel all the way through that makes it work so well. So much for my analysis -- it's a fine production.

Dani,
Thanks so much for your kind words, and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas as well!
Janice and Bud,
I am so glad this "grabbed you"! Silent Night has always been one of my favorites, and I wanted to do something a little different, without changing the foundation of the song. Hopefully I succceeded. Thanks so much for your kind words!

Steve

Silent night... all is calm
Your arrangement really captured that feeling.
Your voice really shines on this.
Beautiful.
Did you also sing the harmonies?

Steve,
It doesn't get more beautiful than this. Those harmonies are like a sky so blue it's hard to look at, but you can't help it - you're forced to.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, brother.
