By Kathleen Ryan. By Adolphe-Charles Adam. Arranged by Kathleen Ryan. Christmas,Classical,Holiday,Sacred. Score. 3 pages. Indigo Mesa Music LLC #721807. Published by Indigo Mesa Music LLC (A0.1120562).“He appeared and the soul felt its worth.” Kathleen Ryan's arrangement of the French religious song by Adolphe Adam, performed on her Christmas album, The Rebirth of Light. Kathleen's notes: "Again, preferring silence to constant motion. I’ll confess that I was not inclined to record this piece. My husband really wanted it included on The Rebirth of Light, but I resisted because I had first heard it sung by a soprano with super-warbly vibrato. I thought the song was sort of tacky, although I did recognize that the tackiness came from the singing and not from the music itself. When I explained all this to him, he pointed out that any arrangement I created would never be “tacky” and that it wouldn’t have warbly vibrato either! I promised to play with it and just hear what I could create. I started with a sort of American Methodist hymnal 4–part chordal arrangement. And then the rolled chords appeared and away I went!" Lyrical, spacious, spiritual. Suitable for use in church.
