There are very few composers who have left such a comprehensive oeuvre covering all genres as Camille Saint-Saens. His vocal music, however, has rather fallen into oblivion - if one leaves aside his 'indestructible' Christmas oratorio (Oratorio de Noel, Opus 12). But apart from that, Saint-Saens, who worked as an organist at various churches from 1852, composed a number of little church music works: settings for different instrumentations, certainly destined to be used in services, including his Ave verum for four-part choir (including organ without pedal ad lib.). It is a simple, yet harmonically rich setting which constitutes a valuable addition to the choral repertoire and an evocative alternative to the common Ave settings.

In 1860 Camille Saint-Saens composed his Oratorio de Noel for five vocal soloists, mixed choir, strings, organ and harp. The work, sung in Latin, is based on texts from the Old and New Testaments, the Psalms and Gospels, as well as the Catholic Christmas liturgy. A distinctive chamber music-like instrumentation, with lyrical soloistic parts and a modest choral part combine to create a basic pastoral mood which has led this Christmas Oratorio to become one of the most performed works by Saint-Saens. Carus offers this work both in its original version and in an arrangement in which the choir is accompanied solely by an organ. This work is now available in carus music, the choir app! Score available separately - see item CA.4045500.

Wil van der Beek verschmolz in A Classical Christmas Weihnachtsmusik Stücke von drei berühmten französischen Komponisten des 19. Jahrhunderts: ein französisches Weihnachtslied von César Franck, ein expressives Thema aus dem Oratorium L'enfance du Christ von Hector Berlioz und Tollite Hosties von Camille Saint-Saëns. Der festliche Schluss sorgt für weihnachtlichen Glanz.

travers les siècles et de nos jours encore, Noël a été un thème d’inspiration privilégié pour les compositeurs. A Classical Christmas (“Noël classique”) rassemble des œuvres de trois grands compositeurs français du XIXe siècle.Le premier mouvement nous fait découvrir César Franck (1822-1890), grand organiste et brillant compositeur, qui a donné une réelle valeur artistique certains chants de Noël français traditionnels. Ce mouvement apaisé, au charme captivant, offre de nombreuses possibilités en termes de nuances et d’expression. La percussion intervient mais ne tient qu’un rôle modeste.Le thème de l’oratorio L’Enfance du Christ d’Hector Berlioz(1803-1869) est au centre du deuxième mouvement. Le thème est conçu comme une ode la sainte Famille. Ce deuxième mouvement, expressif et tendre, possède un caractère intimiste.Le thème du troisième et dernier mouvement est extrait de l’Oratorio de Noël de Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921). Il s’agit d’une page bien connue, le célèbre chœur final Tollite Hostias. La puissance et l’intensité donnent ce finale le ton festif qui caractérise Noël.
