Silent
Night
In 2018, the popular
Christmas carol “Silent
Night” celebrated the
200th anniversary of its
first performance. The lyr-
ics to “Silent Night” were
written by Austrian Ro-
man Catholic priest Jo-
seph Mohr in 1816. Over
the years, the melody has
been credited to the likes
of legendary compos-
ers such as Mozart and
Beethoven. However, a
manuscript handwritten
by Mohr and discovered
in 1995 revealed that the
Austrian composer Franz
Xaver Gruber composed
the music to this beloved
song.
