There are many things we may appreciate about Christmas but the music is perhaps something that touches all of us on a very personal level. Each of us has our own favorite Christmas song and sometimes, it is a classic that was written long before we were born. That is the case for many who love the song, ‘O Holy Night’. It was written by a composer named Adolphe Adam in 1847 and since that time, it has become one of the most well-known songs in existence. It has also been translated into many languages, including English.
It is a touching tribute that many of us find speaks to the heart when it comes to songs for Christmas. It is one that we sing along with what we heard playing at the local store or we may sing it at home, perhaps with our family as a type of holiday tradition. The French Christmas poem was originally penned by Placide Cappeau but even though it is well over 150 years old, it is still well-known down to this day.
There have been many people who have performed this song over the years but Josh Groban is one that you certainly will not want to miss. His rendition is breathtaking and he puts it to a small movie, known as The Nativity Story.
Groban has one of those voices that just can’t help but put you in a Christmas mood when you hear him singing such a classic song. The song is absolutely perfect and many people appreciate the video as well.
When was the last time you got goosebumps from such a musical masterpiece? Groban is someone that can bring out those goosebumps quite easily, especially when you are hearing a song that you have been listening to since you were a small child.
The lyrics talk about the birth of Jesus and they follow many of the traditional understandings of the events that surrounded what happened.
Many people tend to look to their loved ones when it comes to the holiday season. We spend a lot of time with family and friends and it is a great time to reflect on what those individuals mean to us.
