One of the most favored songs of the Christmas season has got to be the Cantique Noel. O Holy Night embodies the Christmas message of hope and peace in it’s words and music. It is perfect for creating the ethereal sounds associated with the miracle story. Freedom from bondage is a very present theme in this song. It’s meaning continues to be relevant to this day, as slavery has never been fully eradicated from the face of the earth.
I am presenting here a classic piano accompaniment of this piece, and it is appropriate for both soloist or choir. As the sheet music markings suggest, the accompaniment is “slow and majestic.” Included with this download is:
O Holy Night piano accompaniment in .mp3 format
O Holy Night piano accompaniment in .wav format
O Holy Night demonstration track with a demonstration vocal.
Every year I look forward to the Advent Season and the Christmas Eve service. It is my happy privilege to play a cir.1848 George Steven’s organ. For many, listening to the organ is an acquired taste, but I would like to argue that being accompanied by this pipe organ is a treat. The organ is a relatively small organ of eight ranks and one manual, with a baroque straight pedal board. The technician who last serviced and tuned the organ believes that the pedals were added later, as he believes the organ to be patterned after the English organs of the time.
Playing this organ and other organs, in and about the quiet corner of Connecticut, inspires me to record more recorded organ arrangements. The accompaniment I am offering here is one that I’ve played for some seasons now. It was recorded using a Roland organ, but the sounds used are from other sound libraries.
Adeste Fideles is Latin Hymn, 17th Century. …words by J. reading, 1692, tr. by F. Oakeley, 1852. The words can be found in many hymnals and other online sources. This arrangement sounds fantastic with a choir or for congregational singing.
