Musical Overview​

“O Holy Night” has a controversial, albeit intriguing history. The dissensions attached to it can be connected with two distinct facts - Placide Cappeau, the lyricist being an atheist, and Adolphe Adams, the composer being a Jew. Neither were so-called “church regulars,” which created a furor among the conservative Church authorities. Although “O Holy Night” was initially incorporated and accepted into Christmas services, its Atheist-Jewish origin was soon discovered.

The carol was subsequently declared unsuitable for Christmas services and received an immense amount of flak for a “lack of musical flavor” and the stark absence of religious spirit. The lyrics focused on humanity and championed humility. The fact that all men and women can have “souls” was considered to be highly radical at that time. The Catholic Church tried its best to bury the song, and somewhat succeed. However, the English translation by John Sullivan Dwight revived it, focusing on the universality of the “human spirit.” Dwight’s version quickly became famous in the United States of America due to the ongoing Civil War.
