Lyrics to Sigh in the Night
Don Caron
Sigh in the night over orange blight,
wiped away with voting right.
Unbelievable attempted coup
which no real president would ever do.
Gone for good and good forgone
We’ve been awaiting the dawn.
Tweets in the night thought process trite
Now that’s gone as is right
Twitter planning to block his account
Which to silence him is paramount
Sounds of tweeting his own horn
no more will puncture the morn
Sigh in the night so recondite
All is calm, end in sight
Sound of burgeoning hope reconciled
Tweeting infant is all but exiled
Weep with joy and relief
Sweep up the orange peels, good grief.
BACKGROUND OF SILENT NIGHT
"Silent Night" (German: "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht") is a popular Christmas carol, composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber to lyrics by Joseph Mohr in the small town of Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria. It was declared an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2011. The song has been recorded by many singers across many music genres. The version sung by Bing Crosby in 1942 is the fourth best-selling single of all-time.
"Stille Nacht" was first performed on Christmas Eve 1818 at St Nicholas parish church in Oberndorf, a village in the Austrian Empire on the Salzach river in present-day Austria. A young priest, Father Joseph Mohr, had come to Oberndorf the year before. In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, he had written the poem "Stille Nacht" in 1816 at Mariapfarr, the hometown of his father in the Salzburg Lungau region, where Joseph had worked as an assistant priest.
The melody was composed by Franz Xaver Gruber, schoolmaster and organist in the nearby village of Arnsdorf [de], now part of Lamprechtshausen. On Christmas Eve 1818, Mohr brought the words to Gruber and asked him to compose a melody and guitar accompaniment for that night's mass, after river flooding had possibly damaged the church organ. The church was eventually destroyed by repeated flooding and replaced with the Silent-Night-Chapel. It is unknown what inspired Mohr to write the lyrics, or what prompted him to create a new carol.
According to Gruber, Karl Mauracher, an organ builder who serviced the instrument at the Obendorf church, was enamoured with the song, and took the composition home with him to the Zillertal. From there, two traveling families of folk singers, the Strassers and the Rainers, included the tune in their shows. The Rainers were already singing it around Christmas 1819, and once performed it for an audience that included Franz I of Austria and Alexander I of Russia, as well as making the first performance of the song in the U.S., in New York City in 1839. By the 1840s the song was well known in Lower Saxony and was reported to be a favourite of Frederick William IV of Prussia. During this period, the melody changed slightly to become the version that is commonly played today.
Over the years, because the original manuscript had been lost, Mohr's name was forgotten and although Gruber was known to be the composer, many people assumed the melody was composed by a famous composer, and it was variously attributed to Haydn, Mozart, or Beethoven. However, a manuscript was discovered in 1995 in Mohr's handwriting and dated by researchers as c. 1820. It states that Mohr wrote the words in 1816 when he was assigned to a pilgrim church in Mariapfarr, Austria, and shows that the music was composed by Gruber in 1818. This is the earliest manuscript that exists and the only one in Mohr's handwriting. - ตลก
Blessing your sweet heart. What a blessing you are! Shared, saved, savored
Thank you for all you do here. To you and your audience, your techs, musicians, camera people, etc., have a merry Christmas and the best of all possible New Years. We all deserve it.
You and your brilliant parodies are much loved! Christmas blessings to all of you involved in making these awesome parodies! ❤ 🎄 🎁 🙏
I remember singing Silent Night in 3rd Grade as part of our Christmas program for our families.... certainly or Harmonies weren't as beautiful as yours or our lyrics as pertinent for today ...
THANK YOU for your beautiful singing, the slightly tongue in cheek irreverence, and the continued good humor and hope you bring with each parody... Hope your Christmas and New Year is all you hoped for and Proserity and Good Health are yours in the new year.
Their “good grief” at the end was, as they say, priceless.
Never there are always ones who stand!
Two years ago I thought you were wrong to keep attacking trump. I was wrong, I am glad you keep putting in good words for us and i apologize for my past comments.
Nice!
We all wished it weren't necessary to keep his crimes in the minds of the sensible half of the USA. Sadly, our fears have been vindicated. No one could blame you for never wanting to hear about him again! It also takes someone of great character to offer a public apology, especially for something undoubtedly forgotten by now. You have my deep respect.
Have a wonderful holiday.
Thanks for that! Don’t you feel better since you’ve left the dark side? Take care…
Much love during this season, and wishes for a healthy and prosperous new year for you and "the guys", Don. 🎄🎁✨🎀🎉🎊
I love it!
Love this! Good stuff guys! Harmonies are so good and the words are damn-straight-right-on! Thank you for this Holiday delight!🎶❤🎶❤
Loved the harmonies. The lyrics are spot on. Merry Christmas.
Even two years later it’s relevant. Except for the Twitter ban LOL. Thanks Don for carrying the torch! Merry HoHoHo
Yeah, "end in sight" was a bit premature.
Beautiful singing. Love the harmonies. (I'm Welsh, harmonising is a genetic trait 😂🏴). The lyrics - considering the circumstances - are perfect as ever.
In case I don't get back online before Xmas Day, I wish everyone a peaceful, _restful,_ and loving time over the festive period, regardless of your faith or lack of it. Midwinter has always been a time for good food, good music and even better company. That company doesn't have to be someone of high status or intelligence, but has the ability to love unconditionally. That's the best company possible, and I wish everyone has someone like that in their lives whilst being able to return the feelings.
Blessed be, with love to everyone ❤
And may it return to you 10 fold!
Well this comment is just a treasure trove of peace and joy. Thanks so much for sharing and may you have the happiest of holidays and be blessed with a wonderful new year! 🕊🌲🕊
How do you do it! Such talent.
Never gets old… The message is important! Thank you.
That was so calming, I hope it brings that calm and consequence into the New Year for all of us! 🌲🎶💖
That song was delightful! It was more pleasant than a plain-old Christmas carol. Of course, some Christmas carols have solemn melodies.
❤your harmonies and lyrics Trump could not understand!
Nice one Don… as they say, 'History always repeats'. :)
I love the harmony man
Still waiting for Carol of the Bells!
Hark how the tells
Co-defendant tells
All seem to say
Throw the keys away
Court cases here
Bringing him more near
To cell blocks cold
Meek now from bold
Ding dong, ding dong
That was his song
With racist ring
While chortling
Hoping MAGA hears
And gives a cheer
But from everywhere
Filings fill the air
On him they pound
From all around
Facts tell the tale
Justice will prevail
More indictments ring
As more defendants sing
It all becomes more clear
Prison time is near
He is getting his comeuppance
He is getting his comeuppance
IMAGINE 🌎 ✌️ ❤️ 🎼 🎵 🎶
Beautifully done. Love this.
I love the seasonal production elements, but adore the elegiac tone of this hopeful piece about the good signs and portents.
This was so beautiful with the loveliest of harmonies. It's 5 am here in Vienna and the coffee is brewing and the most peaceful of all parodies flowing.
Happy Holidays to One and All🕊🌲🕊
Thank you Don for creating a space for sanity! Happy holidays.🧑🏻🎄🥰
Y'all got this again! Wonderful singing.
Wonderful song!
As always you bring us a song to tell us each significant happening in the on going story of a failed ex-president who would be King if left up to him !
You make me smile 😊
Thanks!
Thank YOU, Carol!
Love you, Don! Keep up the great work! 💙
🙏💙💙💙🙏
This actually made me chuckle! Very well done!
Thank you, always glad to add to my likes for your efforts. Going to be interesting when inserting X instead of Twitter. Does that mean he will be Xing? That would be great crossing out his lies and hate.
Nah, hey got Truth Social. Which do you think will fail first?😂
Blessings to All💓💓💓
Thank you Don. And Merry Christmas to all.
Excellent, guy(s)!
One of your best. Great content
Yes !
Perfect
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, Rebecca! Don
Oh, if only he had gone 2 tears ago...
Don, who writes your fabulous arrangements?
That would be me on this particular one
@@ParodyProject Fantastic! Who else writes them?
I thought I heard a little soprano here and there. Was that you or a little "guest voice"?
falsetto
Well done.@@ParodyProject
Still good today , only more dire, frump is worse than a gorilla movie
These parodies are now coming too fast for me to deal with.
🌟🌲🌟 all the algorithm wants for Christmas is comments, replies and likes to all!
As my most consistent commenter likes to say, "I'm here for the Al Gore Rhythm!"
