Long Synopsis:
As amazing as it seems, one of the world's best-loved Christmas carols may
have been written because of ravenous mice! Right before Christmas, 1818, in
a church in the small town of Oberndorf, Austria, the mice were so hungry
they chewed a hole in the church organ's leather bellows. To provide his
parishioners with music on the holiest of nights, the priest jotted down the
words for a Christmas song, and he asked the church organist to write a
melody for two solo voices and a guitar. That evening "Stille Nacht," known
as "The Song from Heaven," was born. Silent Night: The Song from
Heavenpresents the story of the carol, accompanied by beautiful and
intricate gold scherenschnitte (cut paper art) illustrations. Today, "Silent
Night," the gentle anthem born of necessity, is sung around the world in
nearly one hundred languages - thanks to a few hungry mice!

Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a rule to
the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and in cases
where it does not fit, is pedantry... To apply a rule with natural ease,
with judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and without ever letting
the words of the rule obscure the purpose of the action or the opportunities
of the situation, is mastery. -George Polya, professor of mathematics
(1887-1985)
