The song “Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht” was first performed on 24 Dec. 1818 in “Oberndorf bei Salzburg” in public.
Second version (later in mass), with organ and people: • Stille Nacht, Heilige ...
In this location, the song is traditionally sung in the original version, which is different to the popular version in parts of the text and mainly in the melody, which is a third lower in the second part, and has more ornaments.
The song is sung once during the offertory by two men (here: brothers Hannes and Georg Mairoll), one of them accompanies the singing with a guitar; the church choir responds to every verse.

This recording was sung on 24/12/2016 during the offertory by two men, with the 6 original verses.
