Are there any facts on silent night?
The origin of the Christmas carol we know as Silent Night was a poem that was written in 1816 by an Austrian priest called Joseph Mohr. On Christmas Eve in 1818 in the small alpine village called Oberndorf it is reputed that the organ at St. Nicholas Church had broken. Joseph Mohr gave the poem of Silent Night (Stille Nacht) to his friend Franz Xavier Gruber and the melody for Silent Night was composed with this in mind. The music to Silent Night was therefore intended for a guitar and the simple score was finished in time for Midnight Mass. Silent Night is the most famous Christmas carol of all time! I found the preceding paragraph concerning Silent Night on a web site while looking for the words to the music. As shown above, the music was written for a guitar, and played by Franz Grueber (as spelled in my Hymnal). Otherwise, Oberndorf truly would have had a silent night that Christmas eve in 1818.

Why did they use a guitar to play Silent Night?
Guitar was a favorite instrument of Josef Mohr, who wrote the words for "Silent Night." His friend Franz Gruber had written the melody in only a few hours, and the song was first performed on Christmas Eve in 1818. Although shrouded by myth, the fact that Mohr needed a new carol for his Christmas Eve service seems to lend credence to a simple arrangement based on chords to support the melody that Gruber had created, which would be ideal for guitar.

Silent Night was first played on the guitar.The story behind 'Silent Night':Father Joseph Mohr wrote "Silent Night" when he was serving as parish priest at St Nikolas Church in Oberndorf, Germany. Two days before Christmas 1818, the bellows in the church organ were found to be rotted through (some stories suggest rats had eaten through them). Mohr wrote a poem and asked the church organist and choirmaster, Franz-Xaver Gruber, if he could set it to music which the two men could sing, accompanied by Mohr on the guitar. Late on Christmas Eve, the men practised the song for the first time, and performed it for Mass.
