The First Performance of Silent Night

The First Performance of ‘Silent Night’ A recital took place at the church of St Nicholas in Oberndorf in Salzburg, on the evening of 24 December 1818. Silent Night, or Stille Nacht in its original German, is one of the best known songs in the world, but few know anything of its authors. Its lyrics were written in 1816 by a somewhat loose-living Austrian priest named Joseph Mohr. On Christmas Eve 1818, Mohr – then at St Nicholas in Oberndorf in Salzburg – handed the words to Franz Gruber, the church’s organist, and asked him to write a melody for two voices, accompanied by a guitar, for that same evening. 

Christ s birth is much bigger than our everyday problems

The song Father Mohr and Franz Gruber created “Silent Night” is the most popular Christmas carol on the planet. It has been translated into 300 languages and dialects and been covered by more than 700 artists ranging from Bing Crosby to Al Green. Why is it so popular? While the lyrics are simple, their majesty is inescapable: “Son of God, love’s pure light/Radiant beams from thy holy face/With the dawn of redeeming grace.” They express a powerful idea: that God loves us and wants us to be happy; that he comes to bring light and grace into our lives. He sent his son to save us and to teach us by example how to live.
