ἃ γὰρ δεῖ μαθόντας ποιεῖν, ταῦτα ποιοῦντες μανθάνομεν (What we have to learn to do we learn by doing.)

"고요한 밤(Stille Nacht, 슈틸레 나흐트)" 탄생 200주년. 1816년 잘츠부르크의 작은 마을 오베른도르프에서 사제 Josef Mohr 요제프 모어가 작사하고 2년 후 옆 동네 교사이자 오르간 주자였던 친구 Franz Xaver Gruber 프란츠 크사버 그루버가 곡을 붙인 것을 성 니콜라우스 교회의 성탄미사 때 불렀다고. 마냥 포근하게 감동하고 있었더니만, 이런 처참한 정황(화재, 기아, 질병) 속에서 탄생했던 것이었다니 '성스러운'이라는 단어가 떠오른다. 그래서 휴전을 가능하게 만드는 힘.
My favorite Christmas song is 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas'.
1944년 MGM 뮤지컬 [Meet Me in St. Louis]에서 Judy Garland가 불렀던 노래. Hugh Martin과 Ralph Blane의 작품이다. 이후 원작의 가사가 거듭 수정되었으며 Frank Sinatra가 개사하여 부른 것이 유명하다.
ORIGINAL VERSION :
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
It may be your last
Next year we may all be living in the past
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Pop that champagne cork
Next year we may all be living in New York
No good times like the olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Will be near to us no more
But at least we all will be together
If the Lord allows
From now on, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
JUDY GARLAND VERSION :
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles will be miles away
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
FRANK SINATRA VERSION :
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
