Silent Night

Written in 1818 by Joseph Mohr and Franz Gruber

This carol was a result of chaos and an affluent of a time. The continent was still reeling under the effects of the Napoleonic wars. It was a period when people were startled with insecurity and financial instability, which was further fuelled by famines, floods, and conflicts. Amidst this disarray, like a phoenix regenerating from its ashes, “Silent Night” spread its wings of compassion over a tiny Austrian town. The soothing effect that signified the conflict was, at least, finally over.
