On the first Christmas Night, angels watched over the little child born in a manger, for he would be the light of the world.
Origins:
The origin of this popular Christmas hymn is shrouded in apocryphal associations with Martin Luther (1483-1546).
First, the facts. Methodist hymnologist Fred Gealy (1894-1976) noted that “evidence suggests that [“Away in a Manger”] is wholly an American product. The original two-stanza form probably originated among German Lutherans in Pennsylvania about 1885.”
Indeed, most sources note that the hymn first appeared with two stanzas in Little Children’s Book for Schools and Families, a Sunday school collection published in 1885 by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America.
Stanza three first appeared unattributed in Gabriel’s Vineyard Songs (1892), compiled by gospel composer Charles H. Gabriel (1856-1932). Gealy conjectured “the song may have been contributed by an editor or publisher who thought the two narrative stanzas needed to be supplemented by a prayer.”
The Rev. Carlton Young, editor of the UM Hymnal, notes that the only German version of the carol is clearly a translation from the English because the metrics are not natural to the German language. Furthermore, this version was first included in Herbert W. Werneke’s Christmas Songs and Weihnachts-Lieder (1934), a privately published collection.
About Us:
Theatre of Night combines classical and traditional music textures with rock structures and heavy guitars -- and they do so in a theatrical manner. The group's unusual and inspiring take on metal and instrumental epics provide these timeless odes with a unique and refreshing twist on the "usual" metal music.
Sparked initially by a thunderous instrumental rendition of "What Child Is This", the band's release of their album, "Christmas Night", represents a pioneering venture into symphonic rock. It also stands as a fresh way for fans everywhere to embrace traditional Christmas music, as well as many inspired original metal tracks.
Theatre Of Night didn't set out to be Michigan's take on Trans-Siberian Orchestra, though they may be inevitably compared to that arena-packing unit because of similar themes. The band creates its own unique and inspirational renderings, and that ensures that Theatre Of Night will continue to blaze its own unique musical path.
