Order No. 160

On Christmas Eve, 1818, in a little church in Austria, the organ was out of order. The assistant pastor, Joseph Mohr, thought there should still be special music for their Christmas service so he wrote the words to Silent Night. He gave them to the village schoolmaster, Franz Gruber, who was also the church organist. Franz returned the verses, set for two solo voices, chorus and guitar on the same day. That evening the most widely loved Christmas song in the world was heard for the first time.
