Saint-Saëns was just 23 years old when he composed his "Oratorio de Noël" in just twelve days in 1858. Edited by Christina M. Stahl, his Christmas Oratorio is now available in a comprehensive scholarly-critical Urtext edition.
In the preface, the editor explains the background to the premiere, explains the expansion of the work from six to ten movements and the multiple revisions made by the composer. These revisions are documented in the detailed Critical Report.
For the first time, valuable notes are also given on the Gallican pronunciation of the Latin text, which was customary in France until 1903.
The piano reduction is based on the contemporary arrangement by Saint-Saëns' pupil Eugène Gigout.
