Sissel Kyrkjebø - Silent Night - Most beautiful voice ever heard!



Published on Dec 22, 2015

Recording of Sissel singing "Silent Night".

Silent Night (German: Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht) is a popular Christmas carol, composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber to lyrics by Joseph Mohr in the small town of Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria. It was declared an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2011. The song has been recorded by a large number of singers from every music genre.

The song was first performed on Christmas Eve 1818 at St Nicholas parish church in Oberndorf, a village in the Austrian Empire on the Salzach river in present-day Austria. A young priest, Father Joseph Mohr, had come to Oberndorf the year before. He had already written the lyrics of the song Stille Nacht in 1816 at Mariapfarr, the hometown of his father in the Salzburg Lungau region, where Joseph had worked as a coadjutor.

The melody was composed by Franz Xaver Gruber, schoolmaster and organist in the nearby village of Arnsdorf. Before Christmas Eve, Mohr brought the words to Gruber and asked him to compose a melody and guitar accompaniment for the church service. Both performed the carol during the mass on the night of December 24.

The original manuscript has been lost. However, a manuscript was discovered in 1995 in Mohr's handwriting and dated by researchers at ca. 1820. It shows that Mohr wrote the words in 1816 when he was assigned to a pilgrim church in Mariapfarr, Austria, and shows that the music was composed by Gruber in 1818. This is the earliest manuscript that exists and the only one in Mohr's handwriting.

It has been too long! I wanted to wish everyone here, my Sisters and Brothers, a very Merry Christmas!
God bless you all. Many won't remember me, that's ok. We will unite in heaven after The Trumpet sounds. I expect a chat with you. The stories of our passion for His appearing in the sky, the strength and encouragement He blessed us with while expectations came and went, and the joy we will be overcome by to finally be Home.
As we continue to wait on the sound of, "Come up hither!" may next Christmas be where it should be~Home with Him!
Until we meet in the air and our flight ends at Heaven's door, Maranatha!

Merry Christmas

I love to watch "The Star of Bethlehem," by Rick Larson. I don't know how to embed but here is the link:

Just copy and paste, it is about an hour long. If you haven't seen it I think you will enjoy it.
Also it gives some credibility to the Christmas celebration, although it is no longer considered His birthday by most Christians.

God bless you all.
