Talk:Heiligste Nacht (Johann Michael Haydn)

1422

This seems to be a misattribution. "Heiligste Nacht" exists in various settings, but none of them seems to be by Franz Xaver Gruber (the composer, famous for "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht" (Silent Night) - a different piece. This version here (its melody at least) is composed by Johann Michael Haydn, the brother of Joseph Haydn. It is in D-B Mus. mss. 102520, from Salzburg around 1786 - a year when Gruber wasn't born yet. --Thomas Gebhardt 13:32, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

You were right. The composer name was corrected and other existing editions merged here. —Carlos (talk) 18:45, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Bar 22: Tenor - 2nd note. G seems more likely than A.
