The Beginnings of Christmas Carols

The first thing that reminds us that Christmas is just a moment is when we began to hear Christmas carols in schools. Christmas new compositions and old began to be heard wherever we go. Back in ancient times, there were no Christmas carols during the Christmas period. Dances Instead, they were really secular, that have been made at any time of year. Only in the 16th century were Christmas carols have been known and, later known as Christmas carols. Wherever we go, people around the world are so immersed in listening to Christmas carols that we sometimes fail to ask: “Why? A response was expected from the history of the birth of Christ, where shepherds met angels singing announcing the good news of the birth of Jesus Christ. During the 13th century, songs were considered common songs, which later became linked to the church and Christmas. They are usually performed by a choir. One of the most famous songs were the Middle English songs entitled “Angels” and “Die Personent Ho.” Yet, these songs has lost its glory after the period of the Reformation. However, it was revived by Arthur Sullivan and made the Christmas song “It Came Upon A Midnight Clear” popular. In England, Poland and Bulgaria, they perform the custom of “Wassailing”, where a choir hops from house to house and gathering fruit with money, pies, or a drink. The proceeds of this activity is usually attributed to a charitable trust. In Australia, Christmas carols by candlelight surprised the city in the evening. Christmas carols were sung by opera singers in Melbourne and are quite popular with her. Nowadays, Christmas carols are becoming secular. They are sung exclusively by bishops and clergy, but also by popular singers and bands. As defined, carols: a nice religious song celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. However, they are being played with the use of several musical instruments. People around the world can not help but appreciate the compositions and musical arrangements of various contemporary bands. It becomes even more famous when they are frequently used in greeting cards online. The song entitled “A Christmas Carol” expressing the real meaning of Christmas was popularized by Dickens and can never go forgotten. A Christian model, Scrooge is a perfect example of what Christmas really is. In the scenario the new age, however, it seems unusual to find that Christmas carols are still very famous. Especially because the nature of the songs depict religiosity, his words, on the other hand have been shaped by great willingness to do Christmas songs more universal and more contemporary in nature. Christmas carols are part of our tradition today. The songs and lyrics are often a reminder to us that we are blessed children of God. However, we should not be totally focused on what the melodies and songs that we felt, but we must also understand the real meaning why the world celebrates Christmas.

How Popular Christmas Carols Came About

Christmas Carols are sung mostly during the holiday season but most of us find ourselves humming them periodically during the course of the year. They come out of our mouths mindlessly and we rarely stop and wonder where they came from. Most revolve around the birth of Christ but the variety, history and popularity of Christmas carols is fascinating. Two of the most popular songs of all time are Christmas carols.

Silent Night – was a poem written by an Austrian priest, Joseph Mohr, in 1816. It became a Christmas carol on Christmas Eve in 1818 in Obendorf, Austria, a village near Salzburg, when Joseph decided he needed a carol for Christmas Eve services. He gave the poem to his friend Franz Xavier Gruber who wrote the melody in a few hours. It was composed for the guitar which was Joseph’s favorite instrument. It is the most famous Christmas carol of all time.

God Rest Ye Merry, Gentleman – was first published in William Sandy’s “Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern” in 1833. The author is unknown. Most people sing and interpret this song as God Rest Ye, Merry Gentleman thinking it means for merry fellows to rest. The rest wasn’t intended to mean lie down but to keep as you are, to stay merry. Rest ye merry means to remain peacefully content and so the true meaning of the song is hoping God will bestow this contentment on the gentleman. Even Dickens misinterpreted the comma as God Rest Ye, Merry Gentleman when he refers to it in “A Christmas Carol”. Scrooge didn’t like the carol being sung at his keyhole speaking of merriment. Bah Humbug.

What Child is This – with words written to the melody Greensleeves. It originated in Elizabethan times and is mentioned by Shakespeare in “The Merry Wives of Windsor” when it is played as traitors are hanged.

Jingle Bells was written by James Pierpont in 1857 for a Thanksgiving program at his church in Boston. Everyone liked it and so it was repeated at Christmas and it has been a Christmas song ever since.

O Little Town of Bethlehem was composed by Lewis Redner with words by Bishop Phillips Brooks in 1868. The Bishop had been to the Holy Land a few years earlier and was inspired by looking down on Bethlehem from the hills of Palestine at night.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer – A twentieth century carol created for Montgomery Ward by Robert May. Montgomery Ward asked May to write a Christmas story to be given out to shoppers during the holidays. May was inspired by the tale of the Ugly Duckling and his own sad youth as a small, shy child and created the idea of the reindeer outcast shunned by the other reindeers because of his bright red nose. He wrote the story in rhyming couplets. It almost didn’t get published because his boss at Montgomery Ward thought that the public would view the red nose as caused by drinking. May eventually acquired the copyright for the song and it was recorded by Gene Autry in 1949. It is the second best selling song of all time with White Christmas being the first. Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is also a popular Christmas ornament with a festive Christmas wreath hung around his neck.
