Adolphe Adam
Written in D major, range D4 to F♯5
At midnight on Christmas Eve the song calls the whole world to its knees: this is the night the Saviour was born, and a weary world feels hope again. Placide Cappeau, a wine merchant, wrote the poem in 1847 for the midnight Mass in Roquemaure in the south of France, and the piano part is Adolphe Adam’s own.
