This terrific melody by the 19th century French composer Adolph Adam is one of the worldâ??s most famous Christmas solo melodies. It is unique due to the fact that it was the only Christmas song recorded by the legendary opera singer Enrico Caruso. This arrangement for soprano cornet and brass band will make a fantastic touching addition to any Christmas carol. Dieses Werk des französischen Komponisten des 19. Jahrhunderts Adolphe Adam ist wohl die bekannteste Solokomposition für Weihnachten. Darüber hinaus ist dies auch das einzige Weihnachtslied, dem die Ehre zuteil wurde, vom berühmten Opernstar Enrico Caruso aufgenommen zu werden. Stephen Bulla machte aus dem Original ein wunderschönes Solowerk für Soprankornett und Brass Band.

Inspired by models from the Commedia dell’Arte, the plot is set in Seville and presents the old “Greybeard†Don Belflor (a retired bullfighter and womanizer), his young wife Coraline and her lover Tracolin. In a highly contemporary way, this leads to a three-way relationship of which everyone approves. The ‘accord parfait’ is a perfect triad consisting of exactly three notes. It is noticeable that the libretti of the Second Republic were no longer subject to censor. Two arias were planned for each role. As a flautist, Tracolin also knows how to evoke famous melodies from the French opera repertoire in his advances. The centrepieces are the two trios. One of these, the variation number “Ah! vous dirai-je, mamanâ€, is the jewel of the opera: here, vocal virtuosity and the comedy of the situation are combined with brilliant ease.
