On Christmas Eve 1818, Father Joseph Mohr showed musician/schoolteacher and choir director Franz Gruber a Christmas poem he had written. He asked if Franz could add a melody and guitar accompaniment so that it could be sung that night at Midnight Mass. Some say that the organ would not work while others just felt that Father Joseph loved guitar music. That night the congregation of St. Nicholas Church in Oberndorf, Austria heard the timeless carol "Silent Night" for the very first time.
Joseph Mohr was born and died in poverty, with all of his earnings donated to care for the elderly and education. As written by Bill Egan, perhaps this is part of the miracle of "Silent Night." The words flowed from the imagination of a modest curate. The music was composed by a musician who was not known outside his village. There was no celebrity to sing at its world premiere. Yet its powerful message of heavenly peace has crossed all borders and language barriers, conquering the hearts of people everywhere.
Please welcome singing sensation David Osmond performing "Silent Night."
