Video: The Christmas Singers Silent Night, video by Dave Sullivan

It’s among the most beautiful of holiday songs… and also among the most durable.

Above, Silent Night is performed by The Christmas Singers (from left: Pianist Jennifer Yang, Wayne Walters, Patricia Ruggles, Darren O’Neill and June Van Thoen), at last week’s noontime concert at the Morristown United Methodist Church.

And here is Silent Night, performed by 120 tubists on the Green for Saturday’s Merry Tuba Christmas.
