SKU: A0.844471
Composed by Adolphe-Charles Adam. Arranged by Phil Beaman. This edition: audio, pdf. Christmas, Romantic Period, Sacred. Score and parts. 42 pages. Phil Beaman #3406761. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844471).A setting of the beloved 1847 Christmas classic Cantique de Noel, originally in French, then translated to English as O Holy Night, and here presented in Spanish as Santa la Noche. This arrangement was commissioned for a particular group which explains the slightly unusual instrumentation of 4 Violins, 1 Flute, 1 Clarinet, 1 Trumpet, and 1 Trombone. Also by request, it is in the Key of Eb for High Voice.
The traditional voice part has only subtle changes in rhythm to accommodate the natural flow of the Spanish text and by common custom just uses verses 1 and 3. The instrument parts are closely based on the original accompaniment but creatively express the arc of the text. It can go from violin duet to full ensemble and everything in between depending on the mood of the current lyric. Tremelos and trills are added when drama and tension are needed, sweeping runs for climaxes, spiccato technique, and so forth. As is my trademark, there is rhythmic interplay between instruments and subtle polyrhythms.
Written as an accessible piece for an Intermediate group. A perfect addition to any Christmas program because Santa la Noche is a 'must have' tradition and this dramatic and expressive version will please any crowd.
(21 page conductor score; parts, 1-3 pages each; 41 pages total)
Temporary MIDI recording to give a general idea of the score. A live performance will be much more expressive.
