Voices rise in songs. of
joy and praise. As the joy-
ous season arrives, the vi-
brant sound of carolers is
heard in churches, at fam-
ily gatherings, in groups
• going from house to house
to celebrate with song.
CareIs are as much a.
part of the yuletide as the
tree, gifts and Santa him-
self.
It all began with the
• first carols in the 13th cen-
Wry, says the Encyclope-
• dia Americana.
The earliest English car-
ols were composed anony-
mously, perhaps by clergy-
men or court musicians.

a
Simple tunes and etrOng
rhythms were eharacteris
tic, and the musical form
featured a refrain, to re-
peat before and after each
stanza.
Words were written, gen-
erally, in the English ver-
nacular or in "matcaron-
ic" form — a combination
of English and Latin.
The first printed collec-
tion of carols appeared in
1521,, It included the
"Boar's Head Carol", still
sung during Christmas
dinner .at Queen's College,
Oxford, England. r

Among these were carols in
ballad form, such as "I
Saw Three Ships" and
"The, Cherry Tree Carol".
Caroling fell into disre-
pute in the 17th century,
and carol singing was for-
bidden by the English Pur-
qtans. Those who colonized.
America carried this disap-
proval withlhem
After the Resteration,
in 1660, caroling was once
again permitted and the
custom slowly revived.
Some of the most popu-
lar carols date- from the
18th and 19th centuries,
These include "Adeste Fi-
deles," possibly by Fran-
cis Wade; "lia,r1c! The
Herald Angels Sing," with
words by Charles Wesley
and music by Felix Meri-°
delssohn ; "Joy to the Wor-
ld", with words by Isaac
Watts, music by George
Frederic Hendel.
Probably the most popu-
lar of all carols in the 19th
century "Silent Night,"
with words by Joseph
Mohr, the village priest of
Hallein, Austria.
Many" stories are -told
about the way this carol
came to be written. One
