Mario Lanza - O Christmas Tree

Mario Lanza’s beautiful voice combined with master paintings make a lovely version of this favorite Christmas carol. The carol, O Christmas Tree, is of German origin, O Tannenbaum. The best known version was written in 1824 by the Leipzig organist, teacher and composer Ernst Anschütz. The melody is an old folk tune (Lauriger Horatius). The first known “Tannenbaum“ song lyrics date back to 1550. (Quote is from: ).
