Published by Pubblicato da Nicola Marasco (A0.931479). O du fröhliche is a German Christmas carol. The author of the original text was the prominent Weimar orphan father Johannes Daniel Falk (1768–1826).In late 1815, he dedicated this song to the children of the orphanage. The melody was taken from the anonymous Catholic hymn O Sanctissima (also known as Sicilian Mariners Hymn), which he found in the posthumous edition of J.G. Herder's Stimmen der Völker in Liedern after hearing it sung by Pietro Granucci, an Italian foundling under his care. In Falk's original text, the song was titled Allerdreifeiertagslied (A song for three holidays), highlighting the three major festivals of Christianity: Christmas, Easter and Pentecost.
