Cantique de Noël, also known as O Holy Night, is a beloved Christmas carol composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847. This beautiful arrangement for accordion ensemble by Anthony Galla-Rini is an audience favorite.
The lyrics were originally written in French by Placide Cappeau, a poet and wine merchant, who was asked to create a poem for a church celebration. The song was later translated into English by John Sullivan Dwight, a minister and music critic.
The carol tells the story of the birth of Jesus Christ and emphasizes themes of hope, redemption, and divine love. It has been performed by some of the worlds most celebrated vocalists over the years, both male and female.
