Evelyn Simpson’s accessible setting of Silent Night showcases the reflective and serene nature of this traditional Christmas carol while adding some harmonic “flavor” that can only be done by Evelyn Simpson. From a simple opening, she masterfully uses unison writing and intuitive harmonies with sustained accompaniment to design one of the richest settings anywhere. It is available for orchestra and organ or keyboard to make this piece even more appealing—a holiday setting you will program year after year.
