- The download includes both intermediate and advanced arrangements.
- The intermediate arrangement is specifically tailored for a 15/14 dulcimer.
- The advanced arrangement offers two versions: one designed for 15/14 dulcimers and another for extended-range dulcimers.
This arrangement of Silent Night appears on my album Hammered Dulcimer Christmas. I approach it lyrically, as if singing through my instrument. The performance includes significant tempo variations, though I have only notated the tempo changes I felt were essential. I encourage you to weave your own tempo and dynamic interpretations into the music to make it truly your own.
To assist with learning this arrangement, I have included chords. Please note that these chords reflect what the dulcimer is playing; accompanists may wish to explore alternative chord inversions and voicings for their own interpretations.
