Elvis Presley Silent Night
Elvis recorded this song September 6, 1957 at Radio Recorders. Dudley Brooks is playing piano and Millie Kirkham is singing backup vocals. Take #9 was chosen for release. It is available on Elvis Christmas Classics, If Every Day Was Like Christmas, Its Christmas Time, Master & Session Golden Voice, and The King of Rock n Roll-The Complete 50s Masters. The version with the Christmas Message from Elvis is available on If Every Day Was Like Christmas.
Father Joseph Mohr (1792-1848) of the Church of St. Nicholas in Oberndorf, Austria composed the poem Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht; his organist, Franz Gruber (1787-1863) wrote the music. It was sung every night at midnight Mass with guitar accompaniment because the organ had broken down. Karl Mauracher, the organ repairman, loved the tune and took a copy of it home to Zillertal. He arranged it for childrens voices, and it was sung by Joseph, Caroline, Andreas, and Amalie Strasser at the Leipzig Trade Fair in 1832. The children were invited to sing it before the King and Queen in the Royal Saxon Court Chapel in Pleissenburg Castle on Christmas Eve 1832. The carol quickly gained international popularity. It was translated into English by Rev. John Freeman Young in 1863. It has been recorded by thousands.
Thank you for listening. Id like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year
Silent night, holy night.
All is calm, all is bright.
'Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild.
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night.
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glorious strings from Heaven afar
Heavenly Hosts sing hallelujah.
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.
