Silent Night is a traditional & popular German Christmas carol, composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber to lyrics by Joseph Mohr. It was declared an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2011. First performed on Christmas Eve at St. Nicholas Parish Church in Oberndorf, a village on the Salzach River in Austria, the original manuscript has been lost, though a manuscript in Mohr's handwriting was discovered in 1995. Dated by researchers at circa 1820, the manuscript shows that Mohr wrote the lyrics in 1816 and Gruber composed the melody in 1818.
Incorporating influence, mood, & observation from the recent super moon, this arrangement & performance includes tracks of didgeridoo box, midi-keyboard, finger cymbals, laptop, assorted bottles (tuned), C flute, alto flute, pedal harp, & toothbrush.
