Ames Choral Society presents holiday concert, ‘Silent Night’ The Ames Choral Society presents its holiday concert, “Silent Night,â€? at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 9, at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church, 209 Colorado Ave., Ames. Directed by Steve Hoifeldt, with Barb Evenson, accompanist, the concert program has been selected to celebrate the holiday season with songs of Chanukah and Christmas. 2018 marks the 200th anniversary of the beloved Austrian Christmas song, “Stille Nachtâ€? (“Silent Nightâ€?) and the 100th anniversary of the ending of World War I. It was reported that on Christmas Eve of the ďŹ rst year of battle German and British troops laid down their guns and sang “Silent Nightâ€? together from the trenches. Selections from the Ames Choral Society concert program include Welcome, Yule; The Chanukah Song; Light a Candle; Bring a Torch (women); Sing We Now of Christmas
(men); The Snow is Deep on the Ground; The Winter’s Night; In Flanders Fields; and four arrangements of Silent Night, traditional and contemporary. The concert includes an audience sing-
along of familiar seasonal songs followed by a reception. The poem, “Silent Night� (“Stille Nacht�), was written in 1816 by Father Joseph Mohr. He wrote the poem at a time when Europe
was recovering from the ravages of the Napoleonic Wars. Its text expresses a great longing for peace and comfort. On Christmas Eve CONCERT, see page 8
