That is a beautiful song and amazingly easy to learn on piano too. One of my old coaches use to say there three songs you must know how to play:
Birthday song Auld Lang Syne Silent Night

I posted this last year - and maybe the year before?? - but here's my deliberately complicated version. Enjoy!

Not many are aware that originally Silent Night was supposed to be for solo guitar. Words were added much later.

I arranged and played a music box harmonic version a number of years back:

Quote:
"On Christmas Eve 1818, Mohr [the priest who had written the poem] brought the words to Gruber [church organist] and asked him to compose a melody and guitar accompaniment for that night's mass." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Night It's not quite clear from that whether it was an instrumental guitar solo, or was intended to be an accompaniment for a singer or choir. But yes, for guitar!
