History according to wikipedia:
In Roquemaure in France at the end of 1843, the church organ had recently been renovated. To celebrate the event, the parish priest persuaded poet Placide Cappeau, a native of the town, to write a Christmas poem.[1] Soon afterwards, in that same year, Adolphe Adam composed the music. The song was premiered in Roquemaure in 1847 by the opera singer Emily Laurey.

Unitarian minister, music critic, and editor of Dwight's Journal of Music, John Sullivan Dwight, adapted the song into English in 1855.[2] This version became popular in the United States, especially in the North, where the third verse (including "Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother, And in his name all oppression shall cease") resonated with abolitionists.

About Us:
Theatre of Night combines classical and traditional music textures with rock structures and heavy guitars -- and they do so in a theatrical manner. The group's unusual and inspiring take on metal and instrumental epics provide these timeless odes with a unique and refreshing twist on the "usual" metal music.

Sparked initially by a thunderous instrumental rendition of "What Child Is This", the band's release of their album, "Christmas Night", represents a pioneering venture into symphonic rock. It also stands as a fresh way for fans everywhere to embrace traditional Christmas music, as well as many inspired original metal tracks.

Theatre Of Night didn't set out to be Michigan's take on Trans-Siberian Orchestra, though they may be inevitably compared to that arena-packing unit because of similar themes. The band creates its own unique and inspirational renderings, and that ensures that Theatre Of Night will continue to blaze its own unique musical path.
