Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Pastor Phillips Brooks of Philadelphia had visited the Holy Land and a Christmas Eve service in Bethlehem in 1865. Recalling that experience two years later, he wrote this song to commemorate the solemness of the town and night, then asked his organist, Lewis Redner, to write a tune. Their church's children's choir premiered it at the Christmas Eve service in 1867. The tune-name is named for Lewis, but spelled as St. Louis. It is still a beautiful melody and message for children to sing today (see score above, from Christmas Carols, NY: American Book Company, 1910).
