Did you know the tune to “Hark the herald angels sing”
was originally written by Mendelssohn to celebrate
the 400th anniversary of the printing press?
Or that “Silent Night” was sung in both world wars
and to George H.W. Bush on his deathbed?
Listen to “Hark!
The stories behind our favorite Christmas carols,”
for these stories and more.
Or search for “Hark!” wherever you listen to podcasts.
