The anonymous text of this much-loved carol first appeared in A Little Children’s Book for Schools and Families, a publication of the Evangelical Lutheran church in North America. The setting sung here, composed by the American church musician W J Kirkpatrick, was the first; it remains the only well-known one in England, though a later setting by J R Murray is equally popular in the United States.

Les arrangements de Away in a manger et Silent night furent réalisés autour de 1980 pour un projet de l’éditeur américain, Hinshaw Music, consistant à réactualiser les carols les plus appréciés du public.

extrait des notes rédigées par Andrew Green © 2001

Die Arrangements von Away in a manger und Silent night (mit einer bezaubernden Diskantstimme) sind beide um 1980 im Rahmen eines Projekts entstanden, das der amerikanische Verlag Hinshaw Music ersonnen hatte, um neuen Schwung in eine Reihe vielgeliebter Carols zu bringen.
