"Silent Nighty Holy |lh
Night" fe
jdi.
Far up in the Alpine mountains j th
nestled the town of Obemdori. Here '
; its
in 1318, liven a devout young Aus- i
trian priest, Josel Mohr. His closest j-L
friend. Franz Gruber, schoolmaster hi
ana organist, lived in the little vii- sp
lage of Arnsdorf. a short distance |
away. In such a setting, seldom dis- i Ni
turbed by the outside world, the two ! fo
friends were destined to give man- in
kind the most beautiful of all Chrismas
hymns. .
It was Christmas eve night. In J
his lonely quarters, Mohr wondered
how he might bring a ringing message
to his congregation on the morrow
As he stood by the window,
watching the falling snow, the village
bell pealed out twelve strokes, j
Christmas Day! He recalled a re- ?a
mark of his friend, umber, that the "*
real Christmas song was yet to be written.
He had promised Gruber co
he would write that song. 00
It was bitter cold, clutching at ail
life on the snow-bound heights. Host C1
in reverie, Mohr suddenly realized ?ol]
someone was knocking. Opening P1
the door, he saw a woman all but uc
exhausted. She had come to tell nt
him of the birth of a child in a wood
choppers cabin "beyond the third se
great hill," and would he corne and
bless the child and mother? Un- '
daunted by the blizzard now raging,
he set out.
Finally the cabin was sighted. As 111
Mohr entered the humble abode, he co
paused. Not a word was spoken. ,n
The baby slept, the mother smiled m
bravely, and the father's eyes were "1;
alight with a new joy. A strange
radiance seemed to fill the room, as
if in answer to a single thought? m
the thought of another crib, even
humbler, in Hclhlehem long ago. to
When the young priest had given
his blessing, he hurried back over
(he mountains to his home The
storm had passed now, and lifting his as
eyes to the starlit heavens, lie niur- ls
mured, "Silent Night, Holy Night." ?
In such a mood, and inspired by the -s
visit to the isolated cabin. Josef
Mohr wrote the words to the be- a;
loved hymn.
On that Christmas mnrhimr iVfohr fcU
took the manuscript to tiie home of Jo
the teacher-organist. As Gruber
read the lines, he exclaimed: "Pas- y
tor, this is the "song! God be prais- ^
ed!" ! tV*
Because the church organ was
broken, Gruber sat before the fa:n- *y
iJy spinet, an old type of harpsi- ?a
chord, As he read Mohr's lines, he fcj
wrote the score, blending words and to
music into an immortal composition.
