Les paroles compos\u00e9es en 1849, \u00e0 la fois sous forme de po\u00e8me et de chant, \u00e9maneraient d\u2019une ou deux m\u00e9lodies, sans que l\u2019on ne puisse vraiment en pr\u00e9ciser l\u2019auteur v\u00e9ridique. On sait n\u00e9anmoins qu\u2019il pourrait s\u2019agir soit d\u2019une \u0153uvre de Richard Storss Willis, \u00e0 qui il aurait attribu\u00e9 le titre de \u00ab\u00a0Carol\u00a0\u00bb, ou soit d\u2019une m\u00e9lodie \u00e9crite par Arthur Sullivan, intitul\u00e9e \u00ab\u00a0Noel\u00a0\u00bb, et adapt\u00e9e pour une pi\u00e8ce musicale anglaise. <\/p>\n<p>Figurant parfois sous cet autre titre \u00ab\u00a0It Came Upon The Midnight Clear\u00a0\u00bb, ce chant de No\u00ebl n\u2019a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 traduit en fran\u00e7ais. C\u2019est probablement ce qui explique que son succ\u00e8s s\u2019est plut\u00f4t fait ressentir aux \u00c9tats-Unis que partout ailleurs dans le <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blognoel.com\/en\/christmas-party-world-tour\/\">monde<\/a>. D\u2019ailleurs, la version de Sergio Granchi est parvenue \u00e0 se hisser dans le Billboard, tandis que celle produite par Daryl Hall &#038; John Oates a m\u00eame atteint la premi\u00e8re position du palmar\u00e8s en 2006. N\u00e9anmoins, les stations radiophoniques fran\u00e7aises et canadiennes la diffusent fr\u00e9quemment pendant la p\u00e9riode des f\u00eates. <\/p>\n<p>Featured on numerous Christmas albums, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear was produced by several other well-known artists. These include the late Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Anne Murray, The Manhattan Transfer, The Beatles, Tony Orlando, Henry Mancini and his orchestra, Johnny Cash, and Linda Ronstadt. <\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3gdjeblpJeI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Youtube video<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PasRsAiaVgg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Youtube video<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LwBajJ3ZFVo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Youtube video<\/p>\n<p>Words<\/p>\n<p>It came upon the midnight clear,<br \/>\nThat glorious song of old,<br \/>\nFrom angels bending near the earth,<br \/>\nTo touch their harps of gold:<br \/>\n\u201cPeace on the earth, goodwill to men<br \/>\nFrom heavens all gracious King! \u00bb<br \/>\nThe world in solemn stillness lay<br \/>\nTo hear the angels sing.<\/p>\n<p>Still through the cloven skies they come,<br \/>\nWith peaceful wings unfurled;<br \/>\nAnd still their heavenly music floats<br \/>\nO&#039;er all the weary world:<br \/>\nAbove its sad and lowly plains<br \/>\nThey bend on hovering wings,<br \/>\nAnd ever o&#039;er its Babel sounds<br \/>\nThe blessed angels sing.<\/p>\n<p>O ye beneath life&#039;s crushing load,<br \/>\nWhose forms are bending low,<br \/>\nWho toil along the climbing way<br \/>\nWith painful steps and slow;<br \/>\nLook now, for glad and golden hours<br \/>\nCome swiftly on the wing;<br \/>\nOh rest beside the weary road<br \/>\nAnd hear the angels sing.<\/p>\n<p>For lo! the days are hastening on,<br \/>\nBy prophets seen of old,<br \/>\nWhen with the ever-circling years<br \/>\nShall come the time foretold,<br \/>\nWhen the new heaven and earth shall own<br \/>\nThe Prince of Peace, their King,<br \/>\nAnd the whole world sends back the song<br \/>\nWhich now the angels sing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edmund Sears, pastor of the Unitarium Church, claims to be the author of this old Christmas carol, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear.
