Adolphe Adam
In F major, range F4 to A5
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.
