  Silent Night is my favourite Christmas Carol and one I especially associate with midnight Mass on Christmas Eve   
 
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
 and music for Silent Night was composed with this in mind. The Silent Night music 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 and its
beautiful lyrics convey the essence of peace and love. From this website.
