French organist and composer, Marcel Dupré (1886-1971) is also remembered as a significant pedagogue. However, his prominence within the organ repertoire remains absolute with sublime works, including his Variations on a Noel. Dupré studied at the Paris Conservatoire with Louis Vierne and Charles-Marie Widor, where he won prizes for piano, organ and fugue, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He was a famous organ virtuoso and was able to perform the entire works composed for the instrument by J. S. Bach from memory. Dupré's Op. 20, the Variations on a Noel for organ was composed in 1922. It is based on an old Noel (Pastorale) in D minor. The variations displays contrast through tonality, rhythm, timbre and harmony, among other aspects. Dupré's compositions and didactic works remain important to organists today and his Variations on a Noel is no exception.

“French composer and conductor, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Twelve Noels by Saboly for Voices and accompaniment in 1962. As with his other compositions, Twelves Noels by Saboly was well-received by audiences. Tomasi was born in Marseille, but his Father and Mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured in to musical studies by his parents, Tomasi dreamed of becoming a sailor, and during the summer, he stayed with his Grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However, in 1921, he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire and went on to become a high profile composer and conductor. Tomasi did not forget his Corsican routes, often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his Grandmother in to his compositions. The Twelve Noels by Saboly are based on the Pastorale poems by French poet, Nicolas Saboly.This Tomasi collection is suitable to female vocalists, providing an exciting, alternative addition to the repertoire.&rdquo.

Jacob de Haan wrote this arrangement for concert band, fanfare band and brass band and optional male voice choir. The original carol was written by the Austrian composer and organist Franz Gruber (1787-1863). He was asked to write Silent Night on the 24th of December 1818 by the priest of the Church of St. Nicolas in Oberndorf, who had himself written the text. It is a romantic carol, with nuances of contemporary Austrian folk and Italian pastorale music.

Jacob de Haan maakte dit arrangement voor blaasorkest met eventueel een mannenkoor. Het originele kerstlied werd geschreven door de Oostenrijkse componist en organist Franz Gruber (1787-1863). Stille Nacht componeerde hij op 24 december 1818 in opdracht van de priester van de Sint Nikolaaskerk van Oberndorf, die de tekst voor dit lied zelf had geschreven.Stille Nacht is romantisch van karakter, heeft trekken van de Oostenrijkse volksmuziek van die tijd, evenals enkele kenmerken van de Italiaanse pastorale muziek.

Stille Nacht wurde vom osterreichischen Komponisten und Organisten Franz Gruber am 24. Dezember 1818 im Auftrag des Priesters der St. Nikolaus-Kirche in Oberndorf geschrieben. Wer hatte damals geahnt, dass dieses Lied mit seinem romantischen Charakter einmal in 150 Sprachen ubersetzt auf der ganzen Welt gesungen werden wurde? Jacob de Haan schrieb dieses gelungene Arrangement fur Blasorchester mit Mannerchor ad. lib.

Le 24 decembre 1818, Franz Gruber (1787-1863), compositeur et organiste autrichien, mettait en musique un texte redige par le pretre de sa paroisse. Il ne se doutait pas que sa composition deviendrait l'un des noels les plus celebres. Stille Nacht (Douce Nuit) est un chant romantique et lyrique alliant les caracteristiques de la musique traditionnelle autrichienne d'alors, a celles des pastorales italiennes.
