Silent Night for String Orchestra (Arr. by Eric Morales, Grade 4)
Silent Night Arranged by Eric Morales This breathtaking arrangement may quite possibly be the highlight of your winter program. Lush harmonies support a gorgeous presentation of the melody that goes through a series of haunting and magical settings. There are also several opportunities to feature your principal violinist.
The vivid imagery of "little critters" scurrying about at night inspires the melodic lines and creative harmonies used throughout this programmatic work. Beginning soft and mischievous, the music builds as new critters join the fun in a playful dialogue. The harmonic language moves between moments of pleasant consonance and slight dissonance (because as we all know, some people love little critters and some people are terrified of them!). A highly imaginative, playable work! (Grade 1, Dur 2:15)
