Answer by nate_dey
“O Christmas Tree” is based on the German melody “O Tanenbaum.” The melody goes back to 1550, but the person responsible for the modern day version (in German) was Ernst Anschütz in 1824. The English version is an imperfect translation from the German lyrics.

Merry Christmas!

Bella Donna: Wagner did compose a piece entitled “Der Tannenbaum steht schweigend, einsam,” but it sounds nothing at all like the popular Christmas carol. Please take a listen.

Ambi: WHO is Jeannette Jaquish? There is no information at all on the Internet that credits her with any involvement with the development of this song. Please, cite sources.
