'Silent Night' Is
Most Beloved Carol
Of all the songs that return to
bring warmth to the Yuletide wea
pon, no carol is so universally
known as “Silent Night." Certain
ly no other is as loved and sung
as this simple German song.
For years its origin was unknown,
except that it supposedly ' dated
back for many centuries. Recent
Investigations, however, disclosed
that it was produced in 1818. The
poem was originally written by
Joseph Mohr, an assistant priest
in Olerndorf in South Germany.
The melody was composed by a
schoolmaster, Franz Gruber.
Both the poet and the composer
were part of the choir that sang
the now famous carol that Christ
mas Eve in the Obcrndorf church.
The beloved song was sung first
to the accompaniment of a guitar,
for the church organ was out of
order that Eve in 1818.
