The Story behind Silent Night
The Story behind Silent Night Christmas Carol
It was Christmas Eve, 1818, when the now-famous carol ´Silent Night´, performed in St. Nicholas Church in Oberndorf in the Austrian village not long after the Napoleonic wars had taken their toll. Joseph Mohr, the young priest who wrote the lyrics, played the guitar and sang along with Franz Xaver Gruber, the choir director who had written the melody.
The composition has been translated into over 300 languages with many different arrangements for various
voices and ensembles. It was sung in churches, in town squares, even on the battlefield during World War I, when, during a temporary truce on Christmas Eve, soldiers sang carols from home. "Silent Night," by 1914, known around the world, was sung simultaneously in French, German and English.
