Composed by Adolphe Adam (1803-1856). Arranged by Colin Kirkpatrick. This edition: pdf. Christian, Christmas, Praise & Worship, Religious. 8 pages. Colin Kirkpatrick Publications #1267251. Published by Colin Kirkpatrick Publications (A0.1703401).O Holy Night was composed in 1847 by Adolphe Charles Adam (1803-1856), a French composer with many operas and ballets to his credit. The Christmas song has become an essential item in many Christmas services and concerts. This arrangement is scored for SSA choir accompanied by piano. The voices fall easily into high school vocal ranges and the piano part is also easy with conventional, notation and chord symbols, being a simplified version of the original.
The vocal ranges are as follows: Soprano 1: C4-G5 (middle C to G just above staff); Soprano 2: C4-B4 (middle C to B third line of staff); Alto A3-G4 (A just below middle C to G on second line of staff)
First performed in 1847, the original song achieved fame quickly and has been translated into many languages. The most popular English translation was written in 1855 by John Sullivan Dwight. The song was evidently featured in the world's first radio broadcast on Christmas Eve of 1906.
This arrangement is in C major and 6/8 throughout and all three verses are shown. O Holy Night has been recorded by many choirs and singers including Luciano Pavorotti and Placido Domingo, Mariah Carey, John Berry, The Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Ella Fitzgerald and Celine Dion.
