about

« Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht » has been penned by Franz Xaver Gruber in 1818, based upon a poem written by Joseph Mohr two years earlier.
It became a worldwide tune very soon.
Among its numerous renditions, the most touching one was for me during WWI when German soldiers sung it in the trenches and were joined by British troops.
I also keep a special place in my heart for the version by Elvis Presley, forever The King, that inspired me to record this cover (2023 remix)
I didn’t play a bagpipe for once but a Breton bombard : more on this instrument here www.ericdentinger.com/en/bombarde.html

lyrics

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
‘Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glorious streams from heaven afar
Heavenly host sing Hallelujah
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

Douce nuit, sainte nuit
Dans les cieux l’astre luit
Le mystère annoncé s’accomplit
Cet enfant sur la paille endormi
C’est l’amour infini
C’est l’amour infini
