Vom Barette

"Vom Barette," also known as "Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her," is a German Christmas carol dating back to the 16th century. It was composed by Martin Luther, the renowned figure of the Protestant Reformation. The original performer and interpreter are not specifically attributed due to the song's age and traditional nature. The carol is typically sung in a solemn and reverent tone, with a melody that is both haunting and uplifting. Its original key is G major. The song is a beloved part of German Christmas traditions, often sung in churches and at festive gatherings during the holiday season.
