Where did the Christmas carol Silent Night come from?

The song "Silent Night" came from Austria, it is a widely circulated Christmas carol written by an Austrian priest and composed by a ** teacher, released in 1818.

Austria. On Christmas Eve 1818, heavy snow fell in the village of Oberndorf in northern Austria. On the morning of December 24th, Gruber, the organist of the village church, arrived at the church to play the morning mass on the organ and prepare for the Christmas Eve Mass that night.

But no matter how much he stepped on the windboard, he couldn't hear the sound of the piano. It turned out that the bellows of the organ were broken. Gruber was suddenly in a state of panic, which meant that the villagers would have a Christmas Eve that night.

So Gruber approached Moore, a 26-year-old assistant pastor at the village church, to discuss a solution.

Moore came from a poor background and grew up playing the guitar and violin for a living. A pastor discovered his beautiful voice and talent and sent him to seminary for further study. After graduating, Moore came to work as an assistant pastor in the village of Oberndorf.

At the moment, all they have is a guitar. However, traditional Christmas carols should not be accompanied by guitars. They discussed whether they could work together on an improvised basis to create a Christmas carol with a simple melody that could be sung to the tune of the guitar to complete the Christmas Eve Mass that night.

At this time, Moore remembered a little poem he had written two years ago: "Christmas Eve, Holy Night, Ten Thousand Darkness, Light Shines." According to the Blessed Lady and according to the Holy Child......Rubeus was immediately struck by the poem's simple and simple sentences, but gentle and simple.

On Christmas night, Gruber sang the song with his guitar and Mohr at St. Nicholas' Church in the village of Oberndorf, and named it "Silent Night".

Later, the song gradually spread, and a family choir in the Tyrol region of western Austria took it all over the continent. At first, it was thought that "Silent Night" originated from the folk songs of the Tyrolean region of western Austria, and some even regarded it as Haydn's work, until recently, when Mohr and Gruber were recognized as the original authors of this legendary work.

The sheet music was later brought out by the organ repairer, and the outside world was able to know the song. The song quickly spread and became popular.

Today she has almost become the official "festival song" of Christmas.
