O Holy Night on Carillon - Adolphe Adam

O Holy Night by Adolphe Adam is played on the carillon of the University of California, Riverside by David Christensen. As the sounds of the bells gently fade into this Christmas Eve night of 2015, I wish everyone the peace of Christmas.

What they are not showing: he is playing the melody part with his feet!

There is a pedalboard coupled with the lower notes on the keyboard, which enables the performer to play the bass notes if there are more notes than can be played with the hands alone.

That was so heartwarming and beautifully played. One of my Christmas favorites anyway. My wishes come too late, but I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas.

Non-denominational lyrics
O winter night the bells are brightly chiming
It is the night of our dear tower's role
Long lay the world in cold and silence pining
Till it was built and the soul felt its toll
A thrill of hope the weary ear rejoices
For yonder breaks a new glorious peal
Stop for a while
O hear the bronze bell' voices
O night of chimes
O night when bells did heal
O night of chimes o night
O night of chimes
