vinyl christmas 1818. on christmas eve $1818.00 a time marked by bitter poverty and neato the original german version of silent night holy night less 1st song during christmas mass in opened off by the 2 friends to the sound of a guitar band on israel. destroyed only it was intended to be a song of peace and hope in the difficult years after the napoleonic wars. mass water thank tallaght is famine epidemics and found harvests had created a mood of despondency as if those of more himself or grown up in grinding poverty and had endured much in the years before he penned the poem that would go on to become a world famous carol. coble to gether with france he created

a song sung today by 2000000000 people across the globe during the christmas season one that has been translated into more than 300 languages and dialects of business to become but it took 117 years and a very long journey via hamburg new york and los angeles before silent night became the most popular christmas carol of all time. the journey takes us to the california desert to palm springs at the time the home of pain crosspiece being crossed. by then being crosby was already the most successful singer of his day he live just outside palm springs in a smaller way says of rancho mirage. his company's offices however were

located on hollywood sunset boulevard the building still exists today. i grew up in the bin for us. and we knew it in english from being crosby and we knew it in spanish because those were the 2 languages that were the most famous i would say in america but every schoolchild around the world will sing the song in their language and that's that's how you know the song is just completely transcended popular culture into into world history. being crosby came to sing silent night by chance one sunday night in the autumn of 1934 he and his brother narey were busy preparing for an annual christmas radio special when a missionary thing you came calling. please accept my apology larry this morning for this intrusion but i have a proposal for mr crosby is he in homes mourning for. the

father it's been a while what can i do for it i have a proposal for you do have a minute could you perhaps sing silent night. sacred songs are a little out of my league for a crooner like myself step mr crosby the recording will only be heard at the parish father ran a hand talked being into recording the. what song has meant in the annals of history to so many people was something i had

minutely didn't know when i 1st recorded the song i was basing my understanding of the song on other artists that i heard sing it it was a cover of another christmas song you know i didn't deep dive into the history of it because i was so concerned about how we would make it new i didn't i wasn't thinking so deeply about the old with it and so to learn about its roots in salzburg to learn about its history through the course of the last many generations sends chills down your spine and so it's an incredible. gift that keeps on giving as a singer to know about. a story that deep and that profound and and inspires whenever i sing in the future so and so it's a lovely lovely story. 6

literally my 1st experience outside the us when i was a sophomore in high school we went to vienna that was the very 1st place we went and we literally met in a boys' choir and got to hear them sing and it was so magical i mean you have like

teenagers who aren't generally listening to music like that sobbing like because it was so beautiful an energy something about about the boy singing like that before they become men when you hear something that moves you and moves you no matter what the languages and there's some songs and i feel like silent night is one of those that when you're seeing it doesn't it doesn't even it's so weird it transcends the lyrics it transcends the music. around 820 life in austria tour all region was as hard as it was across the rest of europe and the alpine winters were particularly harsh mountain dwellers only left the house when necessary and it took them hours to get down into the valley the musical reiner siblings lived in the valley and it was this family quartet that helped spread silent night.

in the winter of 1822 and pro france heroes of advanced and russia czar alexander the 1st were residing in if you can castle one evening the wryness siblings were hired to entertain the guests. silent night was among the songs they performed. the last tryst cast was so taken by their performance that desire invited them to visit russia. as a result the siblings began a tour across europe. you.

knew. you knew. they performed on recommendation in many european cities up to 1839. they even sang for england's kin george the 4th in windsor castle. i. am. bad samia the wryness siblings traveled to the united states after what must have been a difficult crossing of the atlantic they arrived in new york just before christmas . relieved to have arrived safely the musical family visited trinity church on broadway to give thanks they sang silent night for the 1st time ever in english in

the united states.

still. ask when did i fast silent night is kind of like. when she 1st breathed. is one of us is that i cannot remember i say that such

a crazy thought i just kind. see. the non street strong a. i've always been a big christmas obsessed so when it gets to the turn i even like a little bit close to it. i'm just going for it like oh my god i am. and i pick up my house and myself i mean yes there is a money making thing we mustn't deny this i was it is you know so it's valentine's day. but sorrow. i don't can't raise much money as you know i am having happened to have picked irish and so does everyone else i know what christmas marks the birth of jesus christ. if a christmas day follows on december 25th a public holiday is the celebration start the previous evening on christmas eve to

get. them out in most countries where the holiday is marked the christmas season already gets underway november with christmas lights and christmas markets in the house back. so often so that's true insult to where the crist can go market is a tradition that stretches back 525 years that the history of europe's christmas market states to the late middle ages when they exist in many parts of the former roman empire. it is who quite common visitors come to look for gifts to enjoy themselves. to come. by next tides sides or christmas time inside sport is simply fantastic i was here for my 1st mozart weekly product through

a new production of the opera lucho cielo was being staged here and i was there for the rehearsals on disease. it's so wonderful so spiritual is it really is something very special. in mexico find that in mexico a lot of music is played at christmas. film music there's a lot of rhythm to that music and these are the christmas songs called the on sea cause are important. you celebrate with a lot of joy happiness and light and christmas spent with family and friends of course it's a wonderful time it's an eternity and. many yesterday one from my 1st christmas recollection is of not yet a pos it's a song that just comes when we're all together. true cause no more true there's no more time to be trying to do what you can i went to a german school in of course i learned there that the original is in german and i

was going. to soviet cage he said so really this is perhaps the most famous christmas song that there is c.d.'s keep us in translated everywhere. for like minded so perhaps my 1st memory of christmas music is this song is still i mean that beginning. on what it is without words it soothes you. the same of that melody and it lets us . is be very good moves us really like like a lullaby. and he says kind of but it isn't a lullaby it also has something that lets our soul dance. and then again.

these have been in these movements and the music they build that's become the 1. 1 done oh no no no. no no. ah and this is my finally it opens up like a flower but it's not over yet it's not a heroics or noise sleet then it goes. then it comes back to earth once more to everyone for us very urgently so it's big it starts like a caress that goes on and on and i down 5 terrified to the bruise your chest opens up the music comes out and then it returns moving inwards again with everything that the message carry said not just. the big boy to the is hurt. it comes back to us. in this is you know in that sense silent night is perfect as a title and there's

a statement on this silent night it's fantastic. the . warm. oh. come on oscars. was. was the world. where the. poet. still. was.

in class in smaller cities the atmosphere is very different to that of a christmas capital such as london or new york or the new york that you certainly don't feel that it's a silent time of year sight this year house just about it's wonderful all the same in its own black. pants. a plague

. place. christmas is a little colder a little documenting than serious business is full of nutritional. that's how. they make you could they make a lot of effort there on the slopes chris was feeling and possibly some people around but. nothing like i do i think christmas miracles fun stuff. play. 2 play. play. play.

play. before the song is actually just great in smoke who knows about the people close to surround you. feel. a connection with them on a holiday spirit you know holy places hope you feel because it's a chance to start again soon right it's like i'm still a freshman and. obviously this domo place like a religious idea but i think it's been adopted by the secular slate's higher speeds you can learn to be around people and give people gifts because you love him. play.

so. now. she. says. tom forces. me. sir. for me christmas has to be white now. it's a christmas in paris and it makes sense they celebrate christmas and now still

a very beautiful way with all the lights it's a very it's one of my favorite time of the year. all. gone. to. the. silent night is. deeply linked with christianity. but to me this song belongs to humanity it belongs to a lot of people to every single person regardless your religion or in what way you believe.

i'm from indonesia so engine is just the biggest muslim country in the world so i'm from a muslim family but my father who. was an author was a book writer he wanted his children to have a very open mind and super tolerant and he prefers and that's why he put us in a catholic school so i did all my education with the 9. to

. do.

i think that this song has nothing to do with a place or time. it has something to do with spirit and with connecting people together because i think that everyone in the world as we see now in this song in silent night there is plenty of versions in all kind of languages all over the world and it connects people and i think that's the purpose of this song and that's what's great about it that it connects people together and it brings everyone together. and sontag.

was. in bad. news. all. gone. gone gone.

my mom would submit. the bid. on. the bourne movie. star. was the model. be able to. laugh.
