Editor’s Note: It’s been said that Christmas is one of the few holidays that has its own “soundtrack.” In celebration of the holiday season, The Times-Gazette presents part five of a special 12-part series entitled “The 12 Carols of Christmas,” appearing daily through Christmas Eve that relates the stories behind some of the best-loved sacred songs of the season.
“Silent Night” was a simple little tune which, according to Cecilia Rudin’s book “Stories of Hymns We Love,” was for years known as “The Tyrolese Song.”
