This must be the best loved carol in the world and this is one of the loveliest versions l have ever heard. It is so good to hear these boys from Austria, the home of Silent Night, and, of course, in their native German; the original language. They have such lovely smiles, too.
Thank you very much! It probably IS the best loved carol in the world - the version here is the original, as Franz Xaver Gruber (the composer) and Joseph Mohr (the lyricist) are said to have sung it themselves on Christmas Eve in 1818. They say it has been translated in over 300 languages.
Absolutely beautiful and timeless and arresting to say the least. Dear God if only we could teach as many young boys as possible to sing harmony at an early age, the world would be a better place. God bless The Vienna Boys Choir for decades of hope and beauty.
Years back when I was a kid I remember watching the Vienna Boys Choir on a live broadcast from Vienna on Christmas Eve & Christmas evening. I wish they could bring that back as a Christmas tradition.
I remember singing Silent Night in German at my church at Christmas during the 1960's. We had very many German families in the town, in Wisconsin, where I grew up. I love this song. They sounded like angels!
Maybe you guys are interested in their names? Starting at the beginning they are Simeon, Matthew (both soprano), Philipp and Ivan ( both alto). Hope I got the pitches right. The oldest boys are already out of the choir due to the voice change.
Any chance you could add what their nationalities are? I could tell some of them by how they said merry Christmas in the beginning, but a few I couldn't place.
I am stationed in Ft Bragg, NC - there is a major road on post called Gruber Road - it always rang a bell to me, so one year I read up on it a bit. It was named after Brigadier General Edmund "Snitz" Gruber, an artillery officer who commanded the post when it was used as a US Army Field Artillery School in 1921. BG Gruber was musically talented, and wrote several pieces of military music - the most famous of which was the "Field Artillery Song" which eventually became the US Army Song "Over hill, over dale, we have hit the dusty trail...". Turns out that BG Gruber got it honest - his ancestor was Maestro Franz Gruber, who wrote the music to Silent Night.
Wow - 1,1 Mio. Aufrufe inzwischen! Das ist toll und hochverdient. Für mich ist die Präsentation dieser Vier immer noch die schönste Interpretation dieses wundervollen Liedes. Danke an Simeon, Matthew, Philipp und Daniel mit ihren engelsgleichen Stimmen für diesen zu Herzen gehenden Gesang ... 👌👍🤗❣
stille nacht was written in oberndorf austria so it just fits perfectly for the german language but its not the language its the message we all are human and jesus christ is here he is our savior :3 sry for my bad english im austrian myself :D
imagine its ww1 christmas 1917 and across no mans land you hear this and you recognize the tune and sing along in your own language. it happened and for 1 night in the hell of ww1 there was peace on earth good will towards man.
Thankyou for posting. I had loved listening to this beautiful and heavenly Vienna Boys Voices since I was very young. I'm now turning to 60 years old and still enjoy listening. It brings back my childhood beautiful Christmas memory.
Glory be to God for his blessings to you all with a Very beautiful voices singing Silent Night. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your families. 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
WE first heard this fabulous choir live on their visit to Sydney, Australia, many years ago. They were amazing. More recently, we were invited to their church in Vienna by an elder of the church - the grandfather of a boy in my wife's class here in Sydney. What an exhilarating, spiritual experience this was - absolutely memorable. Just wonderful, and so astonishing they can maintain their wonderful reputation.
Belle, très belle surprise....En cette période de Noël, les anges sont légions à travers ce bas monde à glorifier le dessein de Dieu. Des voix cristallines, limpides qui n’ont pas de mal à se frayer un passage vers Dieu. A les entendre,les hommes n’ont pas d’autres choix que de se joindre à eux et ce quelques soient leurs convictions religieuses...merci à ces jeunes chanteurs et merci pour le partage.
@@sousafan100 Um .... yes, I know. I understand that but I was saying that, for me, it is even more beautiful in German than when it is sung in English.
Such purity. In the lyrics...in the singing and in the boys themselves. It is so powerful. Thanks for uploading this for us. Silent night....Holy night... Jesus the Savior is born! And these angels deliver the message...that we always celebrate Christ's birth...sent by the Heavenly Father to save mankind from their sins. Somehow the message is more emphatic when delivered by these pure and simple boys... unblemished by the evils of this world.
Quel bonheur d'entendre ces jeunes chanteurs talentueux et merci pour ce beau message de Noël, tout sauf commercial ! Paix dans ce monde qui en a tant besoin !
Silent Night written & Composed in Austria for the World, Sung so gloriously by these precious talented boys, what a bright light in this present darkness.

sehr schön. Wunderbar. Dieses lied ist sehr schön auf Deutsch.
I saw them in concert a few years ago and they sang "So long farewell" at the end. A thrill to hear actual Austrian kids singing it.
Cantan bellicimo

God help them all with the transition...it can't be easy .... may their joy be always full! A blessed Christmas everyone Jesus so loves us
I thought there is a girl among them😅

As I know,the appearing boys are from Bruckner,Ivan is not here anymore.The second alto is Daniel
Not Ivan, but Daniel... 😊

Absolutely beautiful. Little rascals with the voices of angels. Stille Nacht - The only song which sounds better in German than any other language.
I agree. No better version than this one!
The only song ?
O Tannenbaum, (Oh Chrismas tree)
The song was originally written in German, by a priest and writer called Joseph Mohr, and the music was composed by Franz Gruber.
you got me at little Rascals........why?
Boys' voices in a choir can sound angelical. And here we have the Vienna Boys Choir. Makes my Xmas day!
Gesegnete Weihnacht allen Menschen dieser Welt .❤🙏🌹🌹🌹

Love to hear Silent Night in its original language of German .
Oui, c'est plus beau - et superbement chanté !
When you have the chance, listen to this song sung by the Taverner Consort Singers. It’s just as beautiful as this🌟🎄.
Yeah

I can't hear it in German without getting a lump in my throat. It always makes me think of the Christmas Truce of 1914. God bless, Brother.
I’m sorry to be this guy but it was in 1914
To hear this in original German language is something worth listening to.
Agreed.
Ja
Evidemment. Merci les gars !
I was wondering what language that was. Thanks, you indirectly answered my question.
@@jamesgordon6483 Awesome! :)
