When Christmas is approaching, the song “Silent Night” becomes a friend, and its mild melody envelops with warmth. Her simple beauty goes beyond languages and traditions. In quiet churches or on snowy streets he connects voices at a time of peace.
Okay, let’s give up fancy talks and put the grain about “Silent Night”! Imagine this: there is Christmas Eve in 1816. A young priest named Joe (his father Joseph Mohr is really called) is depressed because his church organs are broken. No Christmas carols, no Christmas melodies! So he pulls out a pen and writes a wonderful poem about a quiet, holy night.
Two years later, Joe meets Franz, a local musician. Franz likes the poem Joe and decides to give him the melody he deserves. And so “Silent Night” was born! Joe plays her guitar in the church on Christmas Eve, and the rest is a story.
This little carol started like a rocket, sung in over 300 languages by all people, regardless of what they believe. So the next time you hear “Silent Night”, remember about Joe and Franz, a dream team that gave us this Christmas magic!
Merry Christmas, friends!
