In the Christmas of 1818 severe flooding from the river Salzach had struck the quaint little town of Oberndorf in Austria. The organ in the town church had been damaged and was in need of repair. However, there was not enough time to repair the organ before the Christmas Eve celebration.
Not to be defeated by the misfortune the priest of the church Father Josef Mohr had penned some simple lyrics about the blessed virgin and the miracle of the birth of Jesus. He gave the lyrics to the organist Franz Gruber who took a guitar and composed a simple yet moving melody with some equally moving chord progressions.
That Christmas Eve in 1818 when all was calm and all was bright, carol of Silent Night was performed for the first time.
We have given the lyrics in English and in German in honor of Father Mohr and the church organist Franz Gruber.
