Cantique de Noël / O Holy Night (Keyboards and Therevox version)

video upload by Benjamin Dehli

"A synthesizer / keyboard version of the Christmas carol Cantique de Noël / O Holy Night by Adolphe Adam. For the vocal melody I used a Therevox ET-4.3.

This version is inspired by the recordings and live performances of Bing Crosby, Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, but perhaps most of all Céline Dion (especially the vocal melody).
