Silent Night – Holy Night
One song has gone around the world and become a peace anthem: “Silent Night, Holy Night”.
The documentary Silent Night – Holy Night: The Story of a World Famous Song sets out to find when and by whom this great song was invented: in the early 19th century, Franz Xaver Gruber and Joseph Mohr created the song in the middle of the Salzburger Land for consolation in lean times. It is a song which, in its simplicity and grandeur, continues to define Christmas all over the world today.
