From the Munich Die Abendzeitung TV guide: a blurb describing an upcoming documentary about how, on Christmas Eve, 1818, in Oberndorf, near Salzburg, Austria, Franz Xaver Grueber composed a melody for a text by Joseph Mohr. "Silent Night, Holy Night" has since been translated into more than 350 different languages and dialects, and is one of the most iconic Christmas songs ever written.The music the newspaper pulled from the image files to accompany the blurb? Felix Mendelssohn's "Song Without Words" Op. 38, No. 6, ("Duetto").
