Hello List!
I've been asked at the last minute to add O Holy Night to our Christmas Eve service.
When I've done it before, it's been from sheet music, not part of a collection, and my score puts it in 4/4, complete with dotted rhythms against the triplets in the organ. The score I was given to sing from on Chirtsmas eve, however, has it in 12/8. It's a Schirmer edition, ed. by Carl Deis.
I've always liked the Ave Maria-like tension of the dotted rhythms against the triplets, but I'm curious - is there a definitive version?
Thanks,
Laura
