In the Stillness of the Night

This is another Dan Schutte song that has made OCP’s list for Breaking Bread in 2026.

It is a song imagining the vigil of Mary Magdalene at Christ’s tomb. It is a conversation between the Magdalene and Jesus so I suppose it for a duet and choir. It has some of his usual flourishes with tempo variations and a 4/4 bar thrown into the verse.

The sheet music is at OCP who provide the text in their preview.
