Guide 2 Christmas   >   Christmas Carol

Christmas Carol

A Christmas carol is a song (often a hymn) whose lyrics are on the theme of Christmas, often wth a dance-like melody (often based on medieval chord patterns) and alternating verses and choruses.

The tradition of carols is believed to date back to the thirteenth century, athough originally they were communal songs sung during celebrations like harvest-tide as well as Christmas.

Today carols are often sung religious services, including special Carol services. In some countries, including Britain, there is a tradition of Christmas carolling, in which groups of Carol singers go from house to house singing carols, and are rewarded by the householder with mince pies, drinks and gifts of money. The money collected by the Carol singers is usually given to charity.

Some well-known carols include "Away in a Manger", "Deck the Halls", "God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen" "Good King Wencelas", "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", "", "Joy to the World", "O Christmas Tree", "O Come All Ye Faithful", "O Little Town of Bethlehem", "Silent Night", "The First Noel", "The Twelve Days of Christmas" and "We Three Kings of Orient Are".

"A Christmas Carol" is also the name of an 1843 book by Charles Dickens, which contains a ghost story and features the character, Scrooge.

Amazon.com:
This absolutely essential Christmas collection is actually a combination of two Trinity College Choir recordings originally released separately under the titles "Carols from Trinity" and "A Child Is Born," the latter of which is still offered as a single CD. This two-disc set is a great value, both financially and musically. Here are 53 of the finest, most popular, best-loved, and best-sung Christmas carols, anthems, and motets from medieval times to the present, performed and recorded in the wonderful acoustic space of the Trinity College Chapel. Unlike the choirs of Trinity's famous Cambridge neighbors, King's and St. John's colleges--which consist entirely of men and boys, Trinity is a mixed ensemble with female sopranos and altos. The tone, blend, and balance are exquisite and the combination of the three stands as an ideal, and the choir's ensemble technique and musicianship are unsurpassed. --David Vernier
