HUGH BONNEVILLE:
December the 24th, 1818,

5
00:00:53,186 --> 00:00:55,555
a young priest, Joseph Mohr,

6
00:00:55,588 --> 00:00:57,290
sets out from Oberndorf

7
00:00:57,323 --> 00:00:59,859
to visit his friend,
Franz Gruber.

8
00:01:01,494 --> 00:01:04,831
Together, these devout young men
will put Joseph's poem,

9
00:01:04,864 --> 00:01:08,835
entitled "Silent Night",
to music.

10
00:01:08,868 --> 00:01:11,738
The young priest
has modest ambitions.

11
00:01:11,771 --> 00:01:14,474
He simply wishes to sing
some words of hope

12
00:01:14,507 --> 00:01:18,278
to his local parish that night
at Christmas mass.

13
00:01:18,311 --> 00:01:21,347
[music]

14
00:01:33,026 --> 00:01:35,428
HUGH: Franz Gruber
is a teacher, organist,

15
00:01:35,462 --> 00:01:37,597
and sacristan in Arnsdorf,

16
00:01:37,630 --> 00:01:40,300
a small community
just north of Salzburg.

17
00:01:41,301 --> 00:01:42,635
As evening descends,

18
00:01:42,669 --> 00:01:45,071
he anxiously awaits
the arrival of his friend.

19
00:01:46,539 --> 00:01:49,342
Franz knows just how perilous
the long trek

20
00:01:49,375 --> 00:01:51,544
through the winter snow can be.

21
00:01:51,578 --> 00:01:55,615

24
00:02:27,547 --> 00:02:29,482
HUGH:
For two passionate musicians,

25
00:02:29,516 --> 00:02:32,118
it doesn't take long
to find the perfect melody

26
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:34,888
for Joseph Mohr's divine words.

27
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:39,959
Franz Gruber has no inkling

28
00:02:39,993 --> 00:02:43,496
that he has just created
history.

29
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:45,899
He would later write
in his diary,

30
00:02:45,932 --> 00:02:47,934
"It is only
a simple composition,

31
00:02:47,967 --> 00:02:50,236
"without any special meaning."

32
00:02:50,270 --> 00:02:53,306
SINGERS:
[singing in foreign language]

33
00:03:07,053 --> 00:03:09,689
It was Christmas 1818,

34
00:03:09,722 --> 00:03:12,492
at a time of bitter desperation
and need,

35
00:03:12,525 --> 00:03:16,462
Joseph and Franz performed
"Silent Night, Holy Night"

36
00:03:16,496 --> 00:03:19,766
for the first time
during Christmas mass.

37
00:03:19,799 --> 00:03:22,468
They were accompanied
by a solo guitar,

38
00:03:22,502 --> 00:03:25,071
for their fellow Austrians
suffering terrible hardship

39
00:03:25,104 --> 00:03:26,973
following the Napoleonic Wars,

40
00:03:27,006 --> 00:03:30,777
this was indeed a song of peace
and of hope.

41
00:03:30,810 --> 00:03:34,414
Joseph Mohr seems to be guided
by a divine hand

42
00:03:34,447 --> 00:03:36,249
to the Salzburg Alps,

43
00:03:36,282 --> 00:03:39,485
where he wrote the poem
of his life.

44
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:41,588
With Franz Gruber,
he created a song

45
00:03:41,621 --> 00:03:43,556
that would eventually be shared
each Christmas

46
00:03:43,590 --> 00:03:46,593
by more than two billion voices
around the world.

47
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,929
But it would take many years
for the world's chorus

48
00:03:49,963 --> 00:03:53,466
to join Joseph's
gentle message of hope.

49
00:03:53,499 --> 00:03:55,535
A hundred and seventeen years
would pass,

50
00:03:55,568 --> 00:03:58,071
but having reached
out via Hamburg,

51
00:03:58,104 --> 00:04:00,640
across the Atlantic,
to choirs in New York,

52
00:04:00,673 --> 00:04:02,642
and eventually California,

53
00:04:02,675 --> 00:04:07,313
"Silent Night"
would find one timeless voice.

54
00:04:07,347 --> 00:04:10,383
[guitar music plays]

55
00:04:20,159 --> 00:04:21,494
HUGH: By 1934,

56
00:04:21,527 --> 00:04:24,097
Bing Crosby
is already the best-selling

57
00:04:24,130 --> 00:04:26,466
recording artist in the world.

58
00:04:26,499 --> 00:04:29,435
At this time, Bing's home
is near Palm Springs,

59
00:04:29,469 --> 00:04:33,339
in the small oasis
of Rancho Mirage.

60
00:04:33,373 --> 00:04:35,708
Meanwhile, his recording
technology business

61
00:04:35,742 --> 00:04:38,945
can be found on Sunset Boulevard
in Los Angeles.

62
00:04:38,978 --> 00:04:41,347
The building is still
there today.

63
00:04:41,381 --> 00:04:44,050
I grew up thinking
it was a Bing Crosby song.

64
00:04:44,083 --> 00:04:46,586
And we knew it in English
from Bing Crosby,

65
00:04:46,619 --> 00:04:48,087
and we knew it
in Spanish, because

66
00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:49,622
those were
the two languages that

67
00:04:49,656 --> 00:04:52,125
were the most famous,
I would say, in America.

68
00:04:52,158 --> 00:04:55,328
But every school child
around the world

69
00:04:55,361 --> 00:04:57,897
will sing this song
in their language.

70
00:04:57,930 --> 00:04:59,866
And that's-that's how
you know the song

71
00:04:59,899 --> 00:05:02,101
has just completely
transcended popular culture

72
00:05:02,135 --> 00:05:03,970
into-into world history.

73
00:05:04,003 --> 00:05:06,039
[music]

74
00:05:06,072 --> 00:05:07,440
HUGH:
It will be a chance meeting

75
00:05:07,473 --> 00:05:10,877
that leads Bing Crosby
to record "Silent Night".

76
00:05:10,910 --> 00:05:13,613
One Sunday,
in the late autumn of 1934,

77
00:05:13,646 --> 00:05:16,149
Bing and his brother Larry
are busy preparing

78
00:05:16,182 --> 00:05:18,951
for his annual
Christmas radio special.

79
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,589
At the time, this is 1934,

80
00:05:23,623 --> 00:05:27,493
Bing Crosby was the most
successful singer in the world.

81
00:05:27,527 --> 00:05:29,128
And everyone knew Bing's voice,

82
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:31,898
but people tend to forget
that Bing was a pioneer

83
00:05:31,931 --> 00:05:33,766
in the music recording
technology.

84
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,502
If you wanted the best
recording equipment in town,

85
00:05:36,536 --> 00:05:39,672
you had to go
to Bing Crosby Enterprises,

86
00:05:39,706 --> 00:05:43,042
which is run by Bing
and his-his brother, Larry.

87
00:05:43,076 --> 00:05:44,811
Please accept my apology, Larry,

88
00:05:44,844 --> 00:05:46,479
this morning,
for this intrusion.

89
00:05:46,512 --> 00:05:50,316
But I have a proposal
for Mr. Crosby.

90
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:51,851
Is he at home this morning?

91
00:05:54,253 --> 00:05:55,988
BILL CROSBY: Oh, father.

92
00:05:56,022 --> 00:05:57,090
It's been a while.

93
00:05:57,123 --> 00:05:58,391
What can I do for you?

94
00:05:58,424 --> 00:06:00,126
RICHARD GRANAHAN:
I have a proposal for you.

95
00:06:00,159 --> 00:06:01,694
Do you have a minute?

96
00:06:01,728 --> 00:06:04,697
Richard Ranaghan
was a Columban father,

97
00:06:04,731 --> 00:06:05,965
a missionary.

98
00:06:05,998 --> 00:06:07,467
And he was shooting
a film in China

99
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:09,635
using a-a hand-crank camera.

100
00:06:09,669 --> 00:06:12,772
And it-it wasn't
turning out well at all,

101
00:06:12,805 --> 00:06:15,274
and he proudly
wanted to title it

102
00:06:15,308 --> 00:06:16,509
"The Cross and the Dragon."

103
00:06:17,610 --> 00:06:20,513
But the footage was not good,

104
00:06:20,546 --> 00:06:22,715
it was inadequate.

105
00:06:22,749 --> 00:06:25,017
So he knew he had to make
a pilgrimage

106
00:06:25,051 --> 00:06:28,421
to the only man

107
00:06:28,454 --> 00:06:30,256
that could save the film.

108
00:06:30,289 --> 00:06:33,025
Well, Father,

109
00:06:33,059 --> 00:06:35,094
we should be able
to knock that out.

110
00:06:35,128 --> 00:06:37,563
And maybe add a musical pattern,

111
00:06:37,597 --> 00:06:39,031
so people will know
what it's about.

112
00:06:39,065 --> 00:06:40,700
RICHARD: You mean a soundtrack?

113
00:06:40,733 --> 00:06:43,970
You wanna use this film
to raise money for the mission.

114
00:06:44,003 --> 00:06:45,705
Might as well add
a background, too.

115
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,607
Say, uh,
maybe you could sing a song.

116
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,008
"Silent Night".

117
00:06:49,041 --> 00:06:51,344
Could you perhaps
sing "Silent Night"?

118
00:06:51,377 --> 00:06:53,146
Well, Father,

119
00:06:53,179 --> 00:06:55,681
sacred songs
are a little out of my league

120
00:06:55,715 --> 00:06:57,750
for a crooner like myself,
you understand.

121
00:06:57,784 --> 00:07:00,953
Mr. Crosby, the recording will
only be heard at the parishes.

122
00:07:00,987 --> 00:07:02,688
Finally,
Ranaghan talks Bing

123
00:07:02,722 --> 00:07:03,990
into recording the song.

124
00:07:04,023 --> 00:07:06,359
No-no special
vocal arrangements,

125
00:07:06,392 --> 00:07:07,760
nothing fancy,

126
00:07:07,794 --> 00:07:10,463
Bing just sang it
as he would any other song.

127
00:07:10,496 --> 00:07:12,598
And fate played its part

128
00:07:12,632 --> 00:07:16,769
because it was the most
successful song

129
00:07:16,803 --> 00:07:18,938
- for Bing that year.
- BING: ♪ Silent Night... ♪

130
00:07:18,971 --> 00:07:22,008

most successful single

- of all time.

What the song has meant
in the annals of history,

139
00:07:58,478 --> 00:08:00,146
to so many people,

140
00:08:00,179 --> 00:08:01,681
was something
I admittedly didn't know

141
00:08:01,714 --> 00:08:02,915
when I first recorded the song.

142
00:08:02,949 --> 00:08:05,618
I was basing my understanding
of the song

143
00:08:05,651 --> 00:08:07,453
on other artists
that I heard sing it.

144
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:10,523
It was a cover of another
Christmas song, you know.

145
00:08:10,556 --> 00:08:14,393
I didn't deep dive
into the history of it

146
00:08:14,427 --> 00:08:17,196
because I was so concerned
about how we would make it new.

147
00:08:17,230 --> 00:08:21,701
I didn't--I wasn't thinking
so deeply about the old with it.

148
00:08:21,734 --> 00:08:25,605
And so, to learn about
its roots in Salzburg,

149
00:08:25,638 --> 00:08:27,006
to learn about its history

150
00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:29,175
through the course
of the last many generations,

151
00:08:29,208 --> 00:08:30,476
sends chills down your spine.

152
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:33,479
It's-it's an incredible gift

153
00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:35,381
that keeps on
giving as a singer,

154
00:08:35,414 --> 00:08:38,217
to know about a story

155
00:08:38,251 --> 00:08:41,187
that deep and that profound.

156
00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:44,123
And-and inspires whenever
I sing it in the future.

157
00:08:44,156 --> 00:08:47,293
So, it's-it's-it's-it's
a lovely-lovely story.

158
00:08:51,330 --> 00:08:55,268
There wasn't a cloud in the sky
on April the 30th, 1818.

159
00:08:55,301 --> 00:08:58,738
Bright and unseasonably hot
for the time of year,

160
00:08:58,771 --> 00:09:01,440
it was Ascension Day
in Salzburg.

161
00:09:03,409 --> 00:09:06,779
The city presented a glorious
palette of festive colors,

162
00:09:06,812 --> 00:09:11,417
but the flowers bent to a strong
southeasterly wind that day.

163
00:09:11,450 --> 00:09:13,953
The Field Marshal,
Prince of Wartenburg,

164
00:09:13,986 --> 00:09:16,289
was about to visit the city.

165
00:09:16,322 --> 00:09:19,659
The garrison troops gathered
on the residenzplatz

166
00:09:19,692 --> 00:09:21,594
were ready to salute
his Royal Highness.

167
00:09:21,627 --> 00:09:23,863
At any moment,
the prince would arrive

168
00:09:23,896 --> 00:09:26,699
to receive this festive honor.

169
00:09:26,732 --> 00:09:31,537
Suddenly, there was cannon fire
from Fortress Hohensalzburg.

170
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:33,673
The crowd assumed it
to be the first salute,

171
00:09:33,706 --> 00:09:36,375
they looked 'round
for their royal visitor.

172
00:09:36,409 --> 00:09:39,412
But rather than
the welcoming prince,

173
00:09:39,445 --> 00:09:42,882
the cannon warned
utter catastrophe.

174
00:09:42,915 --> 00:09:45,952
[music]

175
00:09:54,794 --> 00:09:56,963
HUGH: The blaze
started in a stable,

176
00:09:56,996 --> 00:09:59,231
and fanned by the hot winds,

177
00:09:59,265 --> 00:10:02,134
it engulfed Salzburg
in a firestorm.

178

After raging over
four days and nights,

the eastern half of the city
lies in ashes.

180
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:11,477

181

183
00:10:17,183 --> 00:10:20,686
"Silent Night" will emerge
from these ashes.

Literally, my first
experience outside the US,

186
00:11:23,149 --> 00:11:24,850
when I was a sophomore
in high school,

187
00:11:24,884 --> 00:11:26,018
we went to Vienna,

188
00:11:26,052 --> 00:11:27,653
that was the very first place
we went.

189
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:29,922
And we literally met
the Vienna Boys Choir,

190
00:11:29,955 --> 00:11:32,992
and got to hear them sing,
and it was so magical.

191
00:11:33,025 --> 00:11:34,527
I mean, you have,
like, teenagers

192
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:37,196
who aren't generally listening
to music like that,

193
00:11:37,229 --> 00:11:38,364
sobbing.

194
00:11:38,397 --> 00:11:39,999
Like, because
it was so beautiful.

195
00:11:40,032 --> 00:11:43,569
And-and there's just
something about-about

196
00:11:43,602 --> 00:11:45,337
the--a boy singing like that,

197
00:11:45,371 --> 00:11:47,206

no matter what the language is.

200
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:53,312
And there's just some songs,

201
00:11:53,345 --> 00:11:55,047
and I feel like "Silent Night"
is one of those,

202
00:11:55,081 --> 00:11:57,717
that when you sing,
it doesn't--

203
00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:59,785
it--you--it doesn't even--
it's so weird,

204
00:11:59,819 --> 00:12:02,455
you--it-it transcends
the lyrics,

205
00:12:02,488 --> 00:12:04,156
it transcends the music.

206
00:12:04,190 --> 00:12:06,592
It's the--it's the whole vibe
of the song,

207
00:12:06,625 --> 00:12:09,462
it's the melody that really
just captures your heart.

208
00:12:09,495 --> 00:12:12,164
And I think that's why
I could be in Germany,

to be honest with you,
and that's really when

363
00:21:24,082 --> 00:21:26,818
we went to the original church.

364
00:21:26,852 --> 00:21:28,987

I think I had to go

368
00:21:38,864 --> 00:21:41,400

of the place and time,

And what was
so meaningful to me

377
00:22:05,757 --> 00:22:08,360
is the idea that "Silent Night"
was written

378
00:22:08,393 --> 00:22:10,128
in the German language,

379
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:11,496
instead of in Latin,

380
00:22:11,530 --> 00:22:14,099
and that that was pretty
revolutionary at the time,

381
00:22:14,132 --> 00:22:18,637
and that it was meant to be
for the people,

382

00:22:21,106 --> 00:22:23,608

a lot of disruption,

and there--
they had just come out of a war.

385
00:22:26,178 --> 00:22:29,414
And so, the idea that this song

386
00:22:30,415 --> 00:22:34,319
was an attempt to use music

387
00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:37,456
to communicate hope and peace,

this is perhaps

00:32:01,719 --> 00:32:04,522
relevance is in the-the-the--
the ear of the listener.

534
00:32:04,555 --> 00:32:07,659
And people can take
what they want.

535
00:32:07,692 --> 00:32:09,627
But I--from every song,
you know,

536
00:32:09,661 --> 00:32:11,329
every song is--
bears the power of music

537
00:32:11,362 --> 00:32:14,699
in the way that it can be
a different song for me

538
00:32:14,732 --> 00:32:16,334
than it is for you,

539
00:32:16,367 --> 00:32:18,202
so what it--what it--
how it inspires

540
00:32:18,236 --> 00:32:19,837
and how it makes us think
about things,

541
00:32:19,871 --> 00:32:22,206
so I'm all for good songs

542
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,809

543
00:32:24,842 --> 00:32:27,011

that makes greatness.

The strange thing--or the great
thing about Silent Night

569
00:34:11,282 --> 00:34:14,218
is that I don't care
where you grew up,

570
00:34:14,252 --> 00:34:18,256
everybody knows
and loves this song.

571

it's a religious experience,

you over the head too hard.

RANDY JACKSON: I think
I've recorded this song

596
00:36:26,284 --> 00:36:28,052
with so many different artists
over the years.

597
00:36:28,085 --> 00:36:31,255
And performed it
on so many different stages

598
00:36:31,289 --> 00:36:33,791
that this is what led me

599
00:36:33,824 --> 00:36:37,828
to start to understand
what the lyric meant,

600
00:36:37,862 --> 00:36:40,464
how spiritual
and religious it was,

601
00:36:40,498 --> 00:36:42,500
how comforting it was

602
00:36:42,533 --> 00:36:45,369

is even going through now.

this song
and the lyric really is.

605
00:36:49,941 --> 00:36:52,009
Can't believe it was written
that many years ago,

606
00:36:52,043 --> 00:36:54,045
and still super relevant now,

607
00:36:54,078 --> 00:36:55,513

Joseph Mohr's pen,

But these words for Silent
Night will emerge

897
00:59:49,118 --> 00:59:51,621
as perhaps
the oldest Christmas song

of singing that song
when I was boy, a soprano.

01:04:53,556 --> 01:04:55,858
Um, I would travel to Europe

954

every few years.

955
01:04:59,929 --> 01:05:03,566

was going to

01:05:03,599 --> 01:05:08,537

957
01:05:08,571 --> 01:05:11,941

as the Silent Night Chapel

01:05:11,974 --> 01:05:14,744
um, in Oberndorf

959
01:05:14,777 --> 01:05:17,914
where that song
was first performed.

960
01:05:17,947 --> 01:05:22,718
And our choir filled
this small chapel area

961
01:05:22,752 --> 01:05:25,755
and we sang

962
01:05:25,788 --> 01:05:28,858
this amazing version
of Silent Night.

963
01:05:28,891 --> 01:05:32,161
Well, the first time
I ever heard of Silent Night

964
01:05:32,194 --> 01:05:34,163
was actually
when I heard a poem

965
01:05:34,196 --> 01:05:35,531
by John McCutcheon

966
01:05:35,564 --> 01:05:37,633
called
Christmas in the Trenches.

967
01:05:37,667 --> 01:05:40,803
And it tells one of the most
beautiful stories

968
01:05:40,836 --> 01:05:43,105
ever to come
from the treachery of war.

969
01:05:43,139 --> 01:05:47,143
It was one cold Christmas night
in World War I

970
01:05:47,176 --> 01:05:48,911
and the British
and the Germans were

971
01:05:48,945 --> 01:05:50,813
entrenched on the battlefields.

972
01:05:50,846 --> 01:05:54,317
And one brave German soldier

973
01:05:54,350 --> 01:05:56,385
walked out into No Man's Land

974
01:05:56,419 --> 01:05:59,755
with a white flag
singing a song.

975
01:05:59,789 --> 01:06:01,791
And they put aside
their differences,

976
01:06:01,824 --> 01:06:04,360
and it was the beauty
of music in that song

977
01:06:04,393 --> 01:06:05,928
that brought them together.

978
01:06:05,962 --> 01:06:07,363
And ever since then

979
01:06:07,396 --> 01:06:09,365
that's been one of my favorite
Christmas songs

980
01:06:09,398 --> 01:06:11,734
and one of the beautiful stories

981
01:06:11,767 --> 01:06:13,536
that I like to share

982

and, um, sing.

in remembrance

984
01:06:22,812 --> 01:06:26,115
of that Christmas miracle
of 1914 in Belgium.

Along with voices
from the trenches,

986
01:06:27,917 --> 01:06:29,552
we learned a great deal
from the diaries

987
01:06:29,585 --> 01:06:30,987
of the British
commanding officer,

988
01:06:31,020 --> 01:06:33,322
Field Marshall
Douglas Earl Haig.

989
01:06:33,356 --> 01:06:36,025
And for Christmas,
every British soldier received

990
01:06:36,058 --> 01:06:37,860
a package from the King.

991
01:06:37,893 --> 01:06:40,129
In this,
he found an ornate brass

993
01:06:43,065 --> 01:06:45,568
a packet of cigarettes,
a portrait of Princess Mary,

994
01:06:45,601 --> 01:06:48,137
and a Christmas card
from the royal family.

995
01:06:48,170 --> 01:06:51,173
Meanwhile, the German soldiers
received a Christmas box

996
01:06:51,207 --> 01:06:52,808
from their hometowns,

997
01:06:52,842 --> 01:06:55,044
along with packages
from their families

998
01:06:55,077 --> 01:06:57,313
with warm clothes,
food, alcohol,

999
01:06:57,346 --> 01:06:59,115
cigarettes, and letters.

For Germany,
the later years of the war

1001
01:07:01,417 --> 01:07:03,686
would be blighted
by chronic shortages,

1002
01:07:03,719 --> 01:07:06,856
but that first Christmas,
the soldiers could still enjoy

1003
01:07:06,889 --> 01:07:09,025
a few comforts from home.

1004
01:07:09,058 --> 01:07:12,094
The German high command
also sent tens of thousands

1005
01:07:12,128 --> 01:07:14,797
of small festive trees
to the front,

1006
01:07:14,830 --> 01:07:18,200

on Christmas Eve.

of the industrial scale
of death in 1914.

01:12:05,254 --> 01:12:07,423
HUGH: On Christmas Eve 1914,

1082
01:12:07,456 --> 01:12:11,360
there's an almost ghostly calm
in the British trenches.

1083
01:12:11,393 --> 01:12:14,396
The men are chilled
to the bone by bitter cold

1084
01:12:14,430 --> 01:12:16,432
and the horrors of war.

[singing in German]

1086
01:12:29,011 --> 01:12:31,714
HUGH: For the German soldiers
in their trenches,

1087
01:12:31,747 --> 01:12:35,551
it's traditional to sing
Silent Night at Christmas.

1088
01:12:35,584 --> 01:12:38,187
The breeze picks up their voices

1089
01:12:38,220 --> 01:12:41,423
carrying the song
across No Man's Land

1090
01:12:41,457 --> 01:12:43,992
and into the enemy trenches.

1091
01:12:44,026 --> 01:12:45,594
Initially,
the British considered

1092
01:12:45,627 --> 01:12:47,930
whether the singing is a trick.

1093
01:12:47,963 --> 01:12:52,201
Then, one of the British
soldiers recognizes the carol...

HUGH: According to his diary,

1106
01:13:33,108 --> 01:13:35,210
Field Marshall Haig
ordered the troops

1107
01:13:35,244 --> 01:13:39,214
to be given as easy a time
as possible on Christmas Day.

1108
01:13:39,248 --> 01:13:41,750
He noted that
it was surprisingly mild

1109
01:13:41,784 --> 01:13:43,719

A British officer however,

1119
01:14:21,790 --> 01:14:23,592
recognizes the peaceful gesture.

1120
01:14:23,625 --> 01:14:25,461
Watch out, don't shoot him.
Don't shoot.

The Christmas Truce of 1914

1135
01:15:27,689 --> 01:15:31,226
is the moment when Silent Night
becomes a true miracle.

1136
01:15:32,227 --> 01:15:35,731
This brief respite

- It's Christmas.

...contradictions
of human nature.

1139
01:15:41,236 --> 01:15:44,606
The Scottish poet of the Great
War, Frederick Niven,

1140
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:48,076
would appeal for a return
to the spirit of Silent Night

1141
01:15:48,110 --> 01:15:52,180
in his own poem,
A Carol from Flanders.

1142
01:15:52,214 --> 01:15:56,251
"Oh ye who read this truthful
rime from Flanders,

1143

"God speed the time

01:16:23,612 --> 01:16:28,150
abiding memory of that war

1148
01:16:28,183 --> 01:16:30,152
should be that moment of peace,

1149
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:32,888
of humanity?

[music]

1151
01:16:37,426 --> 01:16:42,631
In 1915
when I was commander-in-chief,

1152
01:16:42,664 --> 01:16:47,436
there were calls for us
to repeat that armistice

1153
01:16:47,469 --> 01:16:49,271
and we...

1154
01:16:49,304 --> 01:16:53,275
[chuckles]
I, would not allow it.

1155
01:16:54,676 --> 01:16:57,212
You see,

1156
01:16:57,245 --> 01:17:00,349
it is no good
for fighting morale

1157
01:17:01,717 --> 01:17:04,753

1158
01:17:06,655 --> 01:17:07,823
Of course.

No good at all.

Like many great human endeavors,

1163
01:17:32,714 --> 01:17:38,020
Silent Night was born in 1818
out of dire circumstance.

1164
01:17:38,053 --> 01:17:40,555
In a country devastated
by war and famine,

1165
01:17:40,589 --> 01:17:44,693
a young man looks to the sky
for divine inspiration,

1166
01:17:44,726 --> 01:17:46,228
taking up a pen,

1167
01:17:46,261 --> 01:17:49,731
his words of peace and hope
become a verse.

1168
01:17:49,765 --> 01:17:52,534
His verse becomes a song.

1169
01:17:52,567 --> 01:17:56,538
And his song becomes a miracle.

1170
01:17:56,571 --> 01:17:58,407
Silent Night endures

1171
01:17:58,440 --> 01:18:00,442
as long as the world
is conflicted,

1172
01:18:00,475 --> 01:18:02,377
restless, and at war,

1173
01:18:02,411 --> 01:18:04,579
for as long as we need it.

1174
01:18:04,613 --> 01:18:08,016
Perhaps one day, it will become
a song of celebration

1175
01:18:08,050 --> 01:18:10,185
when we have finally learned
from history

1176
01:18:10,218 --> 01:18:11,720
to coexist in harmony

1177
01:18:11,753 --> 01:18:13,822
to silence the voices of hate

1178
01:18:13,855 --> 01:18:16,458
and lay down the weapons of war.

1179
01:18:16,491 --> 01:18:19,027
But until then, each Christmas,

1180
01:18:19,061 --> 01:18:21,897
we have a chance
to reflect on the profound gift

1181
01:18:21,930 --> 01:18:26,068
carried to us down the years
by countless voices.

1182
01:18:26,101 --> 01:18:27,869
We can rejoice in their legacy

1183
01:18:27,903 --> 01:18:31,239
and join together in celebrating
the true spirit of Christmas.

1184
01:18:31,273 --> 01:18:34,443
So when you hear the first notes
of Silent Night,

1185
01:18:34,476 --> 01:18:38,914
perhaps savor for a moment
the peace and harmony

1186
01:18:38,947 --> 01:18:42,918
that inspired Joseph Mohr
and Franz Gruber back then

1187
01:18:42,951 --> 01:18:46,788
