Adolphe Adam Bücher

Adolphe Adam's (1803-1856) ever popular Oh Holy Night was penned in 1847 and has remained a classic holiday carol ever since. The text comes from French poet Placide Cappeau's Christmas poem, to commemorate the 1843 renovation of Roquemaure church's pipe organ. It premiered in Roquemaure in 1847, sung by opera singer Emily Laurey. This arrangement by Adam Harris includes full orchestra and mixed chorus. Instrumentation: 2+Picc.2.2+BCl.2+CBsn: 4.3.3.1: Timp.Perc(2): Hp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): SATB Chor. The chorus part is available separately.

The book is a facsimile reprint, which means it reproduces the original text but may include imperfections like marks, notations, marginalia, and flawed pages. These characteristics can provide insight into the historical context and previous readers' interactions with the text, offering a unique glimpse into its legacy.
