When the Miró Quartet invited me to arrange Silent Night, I was immediately moved by the chance to reimagine my favorite Christmas carol for one of the world’s great string quartets. I wanted the piece to build gradually toward an emotional climax while showcasing each player’s lyrical voice. For the first chorus, I focused on simplicity and the emotional clarity inherent in the melody and harmony, while for the second chorus, I introduced a more chromatic landscape and raised the intensity with rich double stops. My hope was to honor the carol’s quiet beauty while offering the quartet a songful vehicle.
