Adolphe Charles Adam (1803-1856). Lithograph by Auguste Bry after Antoine Maurin, Paris, [c.1850].
Voted No.1 in a recent poll of favourite Christmas carols, the Cantique de Noël is rather a song with piano and organ accompaniment. It enjoyed great success throughout the second half of the nineteenth century and later in the USA but its present popularity in this country follows a long period of neglect. We show here a small selection of nineteenth century editions.
