The text for the song Stille Nacht was written in 1816 in the Lungau town of Mariapfarr near Salzburg by the priest Joseph Mohr and was created during the war and difficult times in Napoleon Europe. The music was written two years later by his friend from a nearby village; organist and choirman Franz Xaver Gruber. Its lyrics have been translated into more than 300 languages and are considered the most performed song of all time on a global scale. The first to make this famous song was Jakob Aljaž; it was first sung in Tržič in 1871.
I’m still in Christmas mood. I love the song very much.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear friend…i also really like to listen to her
A song made to strengthen people in dark times, I always liked Silent Night as a song.
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear Pamela…i agree with you … for holy night it’s really nice to listen to her
What a brilliant legendary combination: Tenor Domingo and The Piano Guys!!!
Thank you!
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear friend…I’m glad you like it
Plácido Domingo is in the news In Spain these days so often. Many women have accused him of harassment and now he does not sing in United States anymore. He is a legend but now his fame has been weakened because of these accusations. I do not really like classical music but I know Plácido Domingo is Spanish
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear friend…I also heard a lot and read … I don’t know what to say …. until they prove him guilty he is innocent to me … as far as singing is concerned, he is one of the best tenorists in the world
If he’s innocent, he should sue these women for defamation.
If he is really innocent, the women have done him irreparable damage …. what will the lawsuit sue …. she sued him to get his money
Silent Night at Silent Hill
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, my friend….you know that song?
yes, it is quite famous…
Isn’t it a great song, dear friend?
nice melody, but the lyrics don’t sound as good in English
I agree …. for me it is the most beautiful in Slovenian
This is wonderful! Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Ellie….Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones
Thank you very much for your warm wishes!
With great pleasure, mydear friend
i was literally playing this version in my office this morning. When I opened your post I played it again!
his voice is one of my all time favorites!
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear friend…..I heard this version for the first time and I really like it … it’s a one-time tenor … one of the greatest
he really is a treasure, and his voice is of an angel!
I totally agree with you
I would understand why he sings “Silent Night” so well – https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/placido-domingo-withdraws-met-opera-after-sexual-harassment-allegations-n1058436
Thanks for watching ….. I’m not here to judge … I like the song so I shared it with you … until they prove him guilty he is innocent ….. P.S. these convictions against the rich are getting more and more interesting to get their money’s worth … that’s my opinion, dear friend
It’s a wonderful Christmas song.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Vidocka….I’m glad you like it
I like songs like that
This song is beautiful in itself … but if it is sung by such a quality tenorist it is even more beautiful
I agree. I’ve heard this song in many verses before
Although it is still the most beautifully sung in church
Well presented. Yet another beautiful version.
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Grace…I’m glad you like it
I have always enjoyed this song and this is a wonderful version. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
