History of Silent Night

The song, sung by many each Christmas, was written to bring this calm to a small village in Austria. The priest had a friend compose a tune for his poem in the early 1800s. Silent Night was then sung as a carol for the Christmas Eve service. It was accompanied by guitar because the church organ was damaged. The listeners loved it and the carol spread quickly.
