Silent Night – Some Ideas For a Piano Arrangement Of This Classic Christmas Carol

PlayPiano Posted on by

I still remember the feeling I got when I was a little boy listening to my folks sing Silent Night in the church choir at Pioneer Methodist Church in Auburn California. There was something mystical about it — like a dream. I can’t describe the feeling, but perhaps you have experienced something similar — the feeling that this is other-worldly and hugely important, but at the same time peaceful and serene.

That’s the feeling I was aiming for in this arrangement — very thoughtful and devotional and peaceful.

Watch this short video on arranging ideas for Silent Night and perhaps it will give you some ideas you can use too:

About Duane

Duane Shinn (that would be me) has good news for you if you want to play the piano. He (me) has little fat hands & stubby little fingers - not at all suited for playing the piano - more suited to making mud pies or some such. I am also fairly uncoordinated with just average musical ability - certainly not a great piano player. But I've learned a ton about music over the years and people tell me I'm pretty decent at explaining how music works & how to progress more rapidly on the piano. Over the years I have developed about 150 techniques for conquering the piano. Most professional pianists can do these techniques, but very few can explain them in a way people can understand. I specialize in making complex techniques simple. I invite you to watch a few of my free videos and see some of these for yourself before making any decision about taking any of my courses.
