"Silent Night" (the original German version being "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht") is a popular Christmas carol, composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber to lyrics by Joseph Mohr. It was first performed on Christmas Eve 1818 at St Nicholas parish church in Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria. In 1859, the Episcopal priest John Freeman Young published the English translation that is most frequently sung today, using three of Gruber's original six verses.
As you can see, some of the photos are not of "Silent Night", but for one of my other records up for bid, "Joy To The World". This auction is for the Blue Amberol # 1606 " Silent Night". My apologies for the mix-up. Please bid accordingly.
Thanks,
Steve
