Silent Night (Stille Nacht) Arr. Chip Davis - Mannheim Steamroller Christmas

From Wikipedia:
Silent Night" (German: "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht") is a popular Christmas carol. The original lyrics of the song "Stille Nacht" were written in Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria, by the priest Father Joseph Mohr and the melody was composed by the Austrian headmaster Franz Xaver Gruber. In 1859, John Freeman Young (second Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Florida) published the English translation that is most frequently sung today.[1] The version of the melody that is generally sung today differs slightly (particularly in the final strain) from Gruber's original, which was a sprightly, dance-like tune in 6/8 time, as opposed to the slow, meditative lullaby version generally sung today. Today, the lyrics and melody are in the public domain.

@oldegeez Thanks! - it is a little early for Christmas music but oh well. I am going to be coming up there this afternoon with my diode situation for some guidance. I should be there a little after four.

Is there any performances of this in the 6/8 time? I'd like to hear it!

@ImOfTheWoods Thank you very much Sylvia! I kind of whimped out on the Wikipedia description - I hope that it is factual. I knew it had Austrian and German lineage and I loved it - that was about it. Wiki, to the rescue. b.
