Added by mirabilos, 03 Nov 2022 English and original French setting of a well-known Romantic Christmas carol from Roquemaure, France. Éditions anglaise et originale française d’un célèbre chant de Noël romantique de Roquemaure. This piece was first performed in 1847 due to childbirth on the opera singer’s and death on the priest’s side, but it was ready by Christmas 1843. The original French version was available, besides №. 3 (Bass) and various orchestrations, as: 1. Ténor ou Soprano (en Ré majeur / in D major / in D-Dur) 2. Baryton ou Contralto (en Do majeur / in C major / in C-Dur) avec accompᵗ d’Orgue mélodium ad lib. Only the second one (for medium voices) is available, and this is what the [français] Part provides. (To add insult to injury, the original edition only shows one verse, and the Nouvelle Edition begins to differ…) The first one (for high voices), however, served as basis for the English setting, which is therefore made available here. Attempts to “cross-pollinate” between available editions and taste have been made by your publisher. This Mu͒seScore 3 file contains three Parts: • main part — English, repeat unrolled, laid out on 8 pages ISO A4, correct playback • compact — English, uses repeat but comes on merely 5 pages • français — French in C major, varies between verses so is unrolled as well The Parts have a different length so caveat software bugs :/ This score uses adjusted off-times (note lengths) for more realistic playback, which is useful as a vocalist training tool. Performed at ca. 76 bpm (the rit. part is very ad-libitum and extremely drawn-out), with a light ritardando to embellish a piano trill.
