The Poem, "Hymn for Christmas Day" written by Charles Wesley, was first published in 1739. In 1753 George Whitefield changed a few phrases, renamed it and set Wesley's poem to music. Wesley wanted his hymn to be sung in a slow & solemn manner.
In 1840 Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) composed his "Gutenberg Cantata" in honor of the 400th anniversary of the invention of the printing press. It featured a male chorus with two brass orchestras pus tympani. In 1855 William H. Cummings set the lyrics of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" to Mendelssohn's "soldier-like" melody creating the Christmas hymn we know today!
