This Take 6-like version of the traditional hymn integrates three different colors beautifully: gospel, swing and ballad. The memorable motif "Silent Night" is uniquely used as layers of counterpoints which makes this arrangement exciting. Written for SATBB a cappella quintet. If your group has high tenors, it's also possible to perform with a male a cappella quintet.
