And now for the pièce de résistance: Bernd’s dizzying performance is beyond comparison. Start breathing again and tell us which song he has blessed us with.
“Silent Night, Holy Night” was originally written by Joseph Mohr as a poem. When the Oberndorf church organ was broken on Christmas Eve 1818, the village teacher Franz Xaver Gruber composed the melody in just one afternoon. The same evening, the song made its debut and quickly subsequently spread throughout the world.
