Music of Christmas 13

I have a sad confession to make:  I’ve heard and sung the carol Silent Night so very many times over the course of my ridiculously many decades of mortal life that its impact on me has, I regret to say, been blunted a bit.

But BYU produced a very nice film about the genesis of the carol two or three years ago.  Here’s an article about an award that it won in 2013, from a Catholic organization:

If you get a chance to see the film — here, for example — please do.

In the meantime, here’s a performance of the carol by the Vienna Boys Choir, accompanied by beautiful photographs.
