My high school concert choir did this song during our Christmas concert back in '76. My choir director had met Rhonda Poley and she had told him about this piece. It's by far my most favorite arrangement of Silent Night
I was introduced to this lovely arrangement 41 years ago by Don Neuen my freshman year at the University of Tennessee! Your voice is SO lovely and freely produced. I cried through the entire song!
@@KellyCruz You are so very gifted, and I can tell you as a singer/conductor/voice teacher of over 40 years, I would LOVE to have the chance to work with you!!
Sang this arrangement many years ago in high school, and then again in my doctoral program with Dr. Dehning at USC, and still love it! Came to youtube for a sample recording, and what do you know, the first one to pop up is Kelly Cruz!!!! Beautifully sung, Kelly!!! So proud of you and that you've kept singing!!

Thank you again @ Kelly Cruz (and choir). Once again you melted me like candle wax. Beautiful. A wonderful yearly tradition for me. Merry Christmas.
@Kelly Cruz you did this solo so well. I’m a choir teacher, and I came across this recording as I was preparing this solo. Kudos to you!

That's incredible!
My highschool choir also did this. Do you know how we can get the sheet music in Australia? I would like to sing it next Christmas.
Best performance of this exceedingly difficult piece that I have heard.

It's so great to hear from a former student of Don! Thank you for the kind words! It is a beautiful arrangement.

Aww, hi Joni!!! Reading this made my night! Thank you so much. Kiss you and hope you've been well! 🖤
Excellent solo, so deep and rich in tone, so gentle and calming for such a night. The choir sang beautifully as always!
Thank you thank you a hundred times over! I'm glad you were able to attend the first service. It's always so much better live.
So beautifully done. Beautiful arrangement and solo. I'm coming undone again.
Beautifully sung. Kelly you are so gifted. There's no more beautiful version of this song either.
Doug Renick thank you from the bottom of my heart♡
I am actually Doug Allen (Facebook, real life, just a you tube ID). This song always melts me. Your singing made it happen faster than normal.
