Silent Night (2025 Version) - Hymn Karaoke & Accompaniment Backing Track (MP3)

Sing Silent Night with a peaceful, candlelit arrangement behind you. This is my 2025 recording of the carol, with piano, bass, string orchestra, bells and solo violin, and the melody left open for your voice.

People use this track for Christmas Eve and candlelight services, Christmas programs and pageants, choir and worship team rehearsals, caroling at care homes, and family gatherings around the piano, or simply for singing at home. You get a beautiful accompaniment without needing a pianist in the room.

What you get

• Two MP3 backing tracks: one with my violin playing the melody, one without
• The original recording with my vocals, for reference while you learn it
• Printable PDF lyric sheet
• Instant download after checkout, yours to keep
• Cleared for live performance and personal use

There are no vocals on either backing track. Use the version with the violin melody while you rehearse, then switch to the open version when you are ready to lead. The arrangement runs three verses with an instrumental verse, then returns to the first verse to close, just like a Christmas Eve service.
