O Holy Night

Text by John Sullivan Dwight, music by Adolphe Charles Adam.
TTBB and piano.

I’m really pleased with the way the vocal parts turned out. The singers will probably enjoy each getting a turn on the melody and the fact that the famous high note in the third verse is a mere semitone higher than the other verses. Thanks to Doug Johnson for suggesting this arrangement, and to Penny Carswell for providing both a performance opportunity and a deadline. Nothing motivates me better than a deadline.

Hear the music:

• MP3 TTBB quartet performance
• MP3 audio file (computer generated vocals)
• MP3 tenor 1 and piano
• MP3 tenor 2 and piano
• MP3 bass 1 and piano
• MP3 bass 2 and piano
