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.

Famous Christmas song in austria?

Silent Night, Holy Night. is sometimes claimed to be originally a Tyrolean, hence Austrian folk song. a somewhat inaccurate article in the Reader"s digest linked the song to some choristers making the rounds of the Austrian Capital ( not in Middie Blouses) in the age of Maria Theresa. This is somewhat inaccurate, the song did not come out until the nineteenth century- by German authors, and Franz Gruber and Joseph Mohr are usually given the credit.
