The First Silent Night

Join Simon Callow as he uncovers the origins of Silent Night, the world’s favorite carol, from the Austrian village of Oberndorf to the city of Salzburg. Two impoverished children, Joseph Mohr and Franz Gruber, met one day in a country church, where they united Gruber’s music and Mohr’s text into this classic carol about the birth of a third poor boy on a quiet night in ancient Palestine.
