Nice telling of the story behind "Silent Night". Background info on Joseph Mohr, the writer of the lyrics, and Franz Gruber, the composer of the music. Also included is a reference to the WW I Christmas Truce between the Germans and the Allies. Just a lovely telling of the story of this carol and how it has affected and inspired people over the years.

Video is excellent and explains the origin of the Christmas carol "Silent Night" or "Stille Nacht" as sung in the native German. The poem was written by Austrian priest Josef Mohr in 1816 and the melody was added by his friend Franz Gruber. The details are very well explained by Simon Callow in his visits to Salzburg, Austria and includes testimony concerning the musical text by Dr. Martin Hochleitner of the Salzburg Museum. Highly Recommended.

I was wanting the version of the "The First Silent Night" shown last winter on BYU channel of the television. This one was more of a documentary.
