Before nightfall Mr. Gruber had, firlished the melody and at mid- night, as part of the Christmas Eve service; the song, Silent Night, was rendered. IN NEED OF REPAIR The organ at the time was in need of repair’ so the song. was played. ona guitar and ‘the first music was,. of course, written for guitar accompaniment. After the Christmas services were over,..an organ builder was called to put the instrument.in repair. He heard the song, and liked-it:so much that he. carried it with him to. Zillerthal. - There he chanced. to sing it: to the Strasser sisters who were quick to.recognize that the song would appeal: to. the public's ‘fancy.
