O Holy Night (Mariah Carey)

“O Holy Night” (“Cantique de Noel”) is a well-known Christmas carol composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847 to the French poem “Minuit, chretiens” (Midnight, Christians) by a wine merchant and poet, Placide Cappeau (1808_1877).

In Roquemaure at the end of the year 1843, the church organ was recently renovated. To celebrate the event, the parish priest asked Cappeau, native from this town, to write a Christmas poem. Cappeau did it, although being a professed anticlerical and atheist.

Soon after, Adam wrote the music. The song was premiered in Roquemaure in 1847 by the opera singer Emily Laurey.

Unitarian minister John Sullivan Dwight, editor of Dwight’s Journal of Music, created a singing edition based on Cappeau’s French text in 1855. In both the French original and in the two familiar English versions of the carol, the text reflects on the birth of Jesus and of humanity’s redemption.

How to Learn The Piano Part

Do not expect your classical professor to teach you only rock music. Traditional music is built upon similar principles and so traditional piano study won`t hurt your either. Your having fun with of pop keyboard melodies will improve tremendously if it is possible to find the energy and effort to study classical music alongside it.
