Arranged wind quintet
O Holy Night" (original title: Cantique de Noël) is a well-known sacred song for Christmas performance. Originally based on a French-language poem by poet Placide Cappeau, written in 1843, with the first line "Minuit, Chrétien, c'est l'heure solennelle" (Midnight, Christian, is the solemn hour) that composer Adolphe Adam set to music in 1847. The English version (with small changes to the initial melody) is by John Sullivan Dwight. The carol reflects on the birth of Jesus as humanity's redemption.
This arrangement for wind quintet is based an arrangement for organ and chorus, by Dudley Buck.
The triplet figure are shared between clarinet, horn and bassoon.
The melody is shared between oboe, clarinet and flute.
