Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
聖誕歌曲曲名:Jingle Bell 背景故事:這首歌在我很小的時候常常聽到也琅琅上口,Jingle Bells的來歷是在1857年,詹姆斯·羅德·皮爾彭特(James Lord Pierpont)的父親在波士頓一所學校任職,這首歌是Pierpont寫給父親的學生們,幫助學生們參加感恩節演出用的,這首歌曲原名為【One Horse Open Sleigh】,一經演唱就引起了轟動,並很快成為了一首快炙人口的經典聖誕歌曲。兩年後,這首歌再度公開發表,正式命名為Jingle Bells,直到皮爾彭特去世,在他71年的生命時光中,可以說,幾乎一事無成,但他從沒有放棄過追求,始終堅信生活的美好,也正如此,才能寫出優美動聽的歌曲。
