Minuit Chrétiens - O Holy Night-Le compositeur français Adolphe Charles Adam (1803-1856) est initié à la musique par son père Jean-Louis Adam professeur de piano au Conservatoire de Paris. En 1821 il entre au Conservatoire de Paris dans la classe d’orgue et d’harmonium de François Benoist et celle de Boïeldieu pour la composition. Vers les années 1823 il connaît ses premiers succès grâce à ses chansons composées pour des vaudevilles parisiens. Il assied sa notoriété avec ses ballets notamment avec le gracieux Giselle et quelques opéras-comiques. Vers la fin de sa vie il est nommé professeur de composition au Conservatoire de Paris. En 1847 Adolphe Adam compose le Cantique de Noël surle poème Minuit Chrétiens de Placide Cappeau. L’Église émet de vives critiques à l’encontre de la musique jugée trop pompeuse et du texte trop païen. Bien à tort car le noël d’Adam éblouira le monde entier. Il est interprété encore de nos jours même dans les églises. Roland Kernen en a réalisé ce bel arrangement pour Orchestre d’Harmonie.

The Legend of Ratu Kidul carries us into the world of Indonesian mythology on the island of Java:Once upon a time the Queen of the Southern Seas was a kind and beautiful princess. She was the daughter of Prabu Munding Wangi the favourite ofthe entire court and the local people. Her royal father doted on his daughter. Her name was Dewi Kadita but many called her Dewi Srengenge or the Angry Princess.Prabu Munding Wangi longed for an heir but Dewi Kadita’s mother couldn’t fulfil thiswish. So he took a second wife called Poetri Moentiara who was very jealous of the lovely princess and her mother. She begged the king to banish both her rivals from court. However Prabu Munding Wangi didn’t do as she asked. He loved his first wifeand her daughter. The second wife bore him a healthy heir but the monarch remained firm. So Poetri Moentiara called upon the renowned witch Djahil. She promised her a princely reward if Dewi Kandita and her mother were banished. Djahil thought fora moment and incanted this rapal (spell): “May leprosy befall you both”. Soon both mother and daughter began to suffer this dreadful disease. According to the law of the land they were to be banished to the wild forest high on the mountain. With aheavy heart King Munding Wangi saw the law carried out. So the two set off on their way to the forest covered in terrible sores. A great sadness fell across the land except for Poetri Moentiara the second wife of the king who had achieved heraim. The princess fell on hard times. In the forest lived a hermit who took pity on the mother and daughter. The queen couldn’t bear the shame and within a few days had died. Now Dewi Kandita was all alone in the world. There was still the hermit however who fortunately provided food and shelter in a cave temple. He bound her weeping sores but couldn’t relieve her emotional pain. Dewi Kandita became increasingly bitter and eventually left the hermit. She travelled southward from village tovillage further and further until eventually she reached the shores of the Southern Sea. She climbed upon a high cliff and gazed out onto the sea that spread before her. She was tempted to dive into the deep green and blue. In the cool waters shewould be able to forget all her pain and suffering. Suddenly awaking from these thoughts she jumped into the deep. The gods who had looked on Dewi Kandita throughout her hardships were filled with deep compassion. So they transformed her into apowerful spirit of the netherworld Ratu Kidul and to this day she resides in her grand palace under the sea.

Cantata for the Feast of Reformation- Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott BWV 80 (A Mighty Fortress is our God) Cantata for the Feast of Reformation There are practically no surviving original sources for Bach's great Reformation Cantata 'Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott'. It is possible that the original form of the Cantata was written in Weimar in 1715 to which Bach later made various additions and alterations to transform it into a Reformation Cantata for Leipzig. Although scholarly opinion as to the sources is divided there is no doubt that the opening chorus based on Martin Luther's chorale melody 'Ein feste Burg' is one of Bach's greatest achievements.
