The most beautiful version I have ever heard. Anne-Marie makes it look so easy with a tremendous voice that beats all the tenors. The original lyrics make it even more reverent and compelling.
I accidentally came across this after returning from our Church Carol service. Its truly a powerful performance at the highest level of singing professionalism. Thanks for inspiring us !
My Grand-mère always called this "Cantique de Noël," although only her son, my uncle, had the voice to sing it---in English. I've never heard the whole song before, so merci beaucoup et Joyeux Noël et bonne année!
This wonderful song is a luxurious lullaby before falling asleep. It is a luxury and bliss to fall asleep listening to such a wonderful song It is a blissful time for me

Thank you! Yes, we had limited rehearsal time, and most of the choir did not speak French, so I had to get creative and write an arrangement they could learn quickly. I have another recording of this with Vor Frue Kantoriet where we used the more traditional choral parts: th-cam.com/video/KCE4hDPBe5Y/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching and happy holidays to you!
Ce cantique s'appelle en français "Minuit chrétiens", soit le début du texte... Holy night s'applique mieux à Stille nacht, dont le texte (j'espère ne pas me tromper) débute par Stille Nacht Heilige Nacht (allemand), Silent night holy night (anglais) et Douce nuit sainte nuit (français). Contrairement à beaucoup ici, je ne suis pas convaincue par l'interprétation de la soliste , malgré une jolie voix.
This is far from an easy Christmas carol to sing. An opera level singer like Ann-Marie MacFarlane can do it, and without a microphone. Ordinary revelers, not so much.
Thank you! Of course! Do you want me to put them on the video as subtitles? Otherwise they are here: Minuit, Chrétiens, c'est l'heure solennelle Où l'homme Dieu descendit jusqu'à nous, Pour effacer la tache originelle Et de son père arrêter le courroux: Le monde entier tressaille d'espérance A cette nuit qui lui donne un sauveur Peuple à genoux, attends ta délivrance Noël ! Noël ! Voici le Rédempteur ! Noël ! Noël ! Voici le Rédempteur ! De notre foi que la lumière ardente Nous guide tous au berceau de l'enfant Comme autrefois, une étoile brillante Y conduisit les chefs de l'Orient Le Roi des Rois naît dans une humble crèche, Puissants du jour fiers de votre grandeur, A votre orgueil c'est de là qu'un Dieu prêche, Courbez vos fronts devant le Rédempteur ! Courbez vos fronts devant le Rédempteur ! Le Rédempteur a brisé toute entrave, La terre est libre et le ciel est ouvert Il voit un frère où n'était qu'un esclave L'amour unit ceux qu'enchaînait le fer, Qui lui dira notre reconnaissance ?

Adam's funeral took place at his parish church of Notre Dame de Lorette, Paris on May 5th 1856.
It would seem from this that he was a Catholic.

Stille Nacht ist ein ganz anderes Weihnachtslied. Es stammt aussi Österreich. Minuit Chrétiens wird meistens auf französich gesungen.
This is far from an easy Christmas carol to sing. An opera level singer like Ann-Marie MacFarlane can do it, and without a microphone. Ordinary revelers, not so much.
Splendid!!! Could you add the French lyrics as well, please?
Thank you! Of course! Do you want me to put them on the video as subtitles? Otherwise they are here:
Minuit, Chrétiens, c'est l'heure solennelle
Où l'homme Dieu descendit jusqu'à nous,
Pour effacer la tache originelle
Et de son père arrêter le courroux:
Le monde entier tressaille d'espérance
A cette nuit qui lui donne un sauveur
Peuple à genoux, attends ta délivrance
Noël ! Noël ! Voici le Rédempteur !
Noël ! Noël ! Voici le Rédempteur !
De notre foi que la lumière ardente
Nous guide tous au berceau de l'enfant
Comme autrefois, une étoile brillante
Y conduisit les chefs de l'Orient
Le Roi des Rois naît dans une humble crèche,
Puissants du jour fiers de votre grandeur,
A votre orgueil c'est de là qu'un Dieu prêche,
Courbez vos fronts devant le Rédempteur !
Courbez vos fronts devant le Rédempteur !
Le Rédempteur a brisé toute entrave,
La terre est libre et le ciel est ouvert
Il voit un frère où n'était qu'un esclave
L'amour unit ceux qu'enchaînait le fer,
Qui lui dira notre reconnaissance ?
C'est pour nous tous qu'il naît, qu'il souffre et meurt:
Peuple, debout ! chante ta délivrance,
Noël ! Noël ! chantons le Rédempteur !

Neben " Stille Nacht " das am Meisten ergreifende Weihnachtslied.
Strong Soprano voice, even though flat at times. I miss the Baritons The recording is not nice.😮
Was this recorded on a flip phone??
No, I believe it was a digital camera. This was a few years ago.
Had the original lyrics been retained, I don't think O Holy Night would have achieved the enduring popularity it has today !
Counterfeit Christians like the new version.
