Watch! Ntsika Has Been Chosen Along With Others To Sing Silent Night In 6 SA Languages

Ntsika Has Been Chosen Along With Others To Sing Silent Night In 6 SA Languages – The world’s most famous Christmas song, “Silent Night,” comes to us from Austria (Österreich in German).

Called “Stille Nacht” in its original German, this beautiful Christmas carol is now sung and enjoyed around the world in over 140 languages.

But the familiar melody we recognize today as “Silent Night” or “Stille Nacht” is not quite the same one that Franz Gruber composed, and although the song was not truly “lost” or “forgotten” — as legend would have it — the world-famous carol did take many years to become as well known and as ubiquitous as it is today. In the intervening years Joseph Mohr is known to have written a “Stille Nacht” arrangement around 1820, and new hand-written arrangements by Franz Gruber appeared before his death — one for a full orchestra in 1845, and another for organ in 1855. By 1900 “Stille Nacht” had made its way around the entire globe. But we should start at the beginning.

This is What Ntsika had to say:
