Holy night… Two Christmas carols – notes and lyrics

Every day the holiday of the Nativity of Christ is getting closer and closer. Today I will introduce you to two more carols – “Silent Night over Palestine” and “This Night is Holy.” As always, you can download the notes and lyrics of these carols for yourself.

In the attached file you will find two versions of musical notation for each song – for high and low voices. The arrangements are single-voice and simple, designed for beginner singers.

However, if you have not yet learned to read music, it’s not a big deal, because the carols “Silent Night Over Palestine” and “This Holy Night” are so melodic that they are very easy to understand by ear. You just need to listen to them a few times.

The video that is on the page will help you not only learn the melodies of carols, but also deeply understand their content, remember the meaning and text. Both carols tell the same story about how an angel appeared to shepherds in the desert to announce the great joy of the birth of the Savior. Since these carols are a story about gospel events, they should not be sung quickly, but rather calmly, as if telling a story.
