Which song was originally written and performed in 1818 in Austria by Josef Mohr and Franz Gruber because the church organ wasn't working properly in time for Christmas?
Answer Silent Night
In a town in Austria, Josef Mohr and Franz Gruber wrote the Christmas song "Silent Night" in 1818. Mohr had written a poem containing the lyrics of the song, and when he gifted it to Gruber, he put it to music. The first performance of the song was by the two of them because of the church organ being too damaged to play music that Christmas.
