O Holy Night! sung and played by Fiona Dunn at a concert on Saturday 6th December 2025

This well-known Christmas carol started life as a French text written in 1847 by Placide Cappeau, called Minuit, Chretiens, set to music by Adolphe-Charles Adam and then entitled Cantique de Noel. It was later translated into English by John Sullivan Dwight, who significantly changed the message some of the lines.
