The Extraordinary Story Behind 'Silent Night' l BBC Timestamp

Lucy Worsley investigates the origins of a timeless Christmas Carol: ‘Silent Night’. Composed in Austria in the 19th Century after the defeat of Napoleon, this carol’s message of peace found resonance around the world, echoing down the generations and, albeit briefly, bridging even the most formidable of rivalries.
This clip is from Christmas Carols with Lucy Worsley (2019).
