The popular idea is Silent Night. It was said to have originally been a Tyrolean folk song dating to the period of Empress Maria Theresa and may have some connection with the Vienna Boys Choir. The more usual theory is that it was written in the early or mid-nineteenth century by Joseph Mohr and Franz Gruber. Indirectly inspired by a disabled pipe organ, it was sung originally to the strains of a guitar.
