The story behind the song

"Silent Night" is a beloved Christmas carol with a rich history. The lyrics were penned in 1816 by Father Joseph Mohr, who later brought them to Franz Xaver Gruber on Christmas Eve, 1818. Gruber, a schoolmaster and organist, composed the melody and a guitar accompaniment for that night's mass, possibly because the church organ was damaged. This carol has since become one of the most recorded Christmas songs, with over 137,000 known recordings.
