Product Description

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 cello and piano and uses both bass and tenor clefs. The lowest note in the solo part is the G in the fourth space of the bass clef (G3) and the highest note is B4 (it occurs only once) which can be reached in 6th position in tenor clef. Much of the piece can be played in 3rd and 4th position. The piano part is easy with conventional notation and chord symbols, being a simplified version of the original.

There is an easier version of this piece for cello and piano (from the same publisher) which is in C major and uses the bass clef throughout. Much of it can be played in first position.

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 G major and 6/8 throughout. The PDF file contains both the piano score and a separate solo part. 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.
