Description
Leise rieselt der Schnee (“Softly Falls the Snow”) – for Guitar Ensemble or Guitar Orchestra
Description: Leise rieselt der Schnee (“Softly Falls the Snow”) is one of the most beloved Christmas songs in the German-speaking world. This gentle and atmospheric arrangement for guitar ensemble or guitar orchestra captures the peaceful winter mood of the original carol. The setting combines chorale-style textures with light contrapuntal lines, creating a warm and expressive sound that works beautifully in both small ensembles and larger orchestral settings.
The 5th guitar is tuned in Drop D, providing a rich and resonant bass foundation.
A bass guitar part is also available on request – please contact the arranger if you would like to receive it.
Perfect for holiday concerts, community ensembles, or student orchestras, this arrangement is accessible yet musically rewarding, allowing players to explore blend, tone, and phrasing in a lyrical and festive context.
