At LPT, the first thing everyone wanted to perform together was
Christmas Carols for the Yule Revels. These are a few I have
located so far. If you have a favorite that is not on this list,
please post about it. Especially if you know where to find the
music. Also, if you don't like one of these, or have found a
better arrangement, let us know.<br clear="none">

</div><div><div><b>A Carol Bringing In the Boar’s Heed</b><br clear="none">
Lyrics by: Wynkyn de Worde. Unfortunately, only the last page of
Jan van Wynken’s “Christmas Carolles”, printed in 1521,
survives, but it includes portions of this carol, which appears
in many different forms in later publications. This song is
traditionally sung during the Christmas Feast at Oxford</div>

<div><b>The Holly & the Ivy</b><br clear="none">
This popular melody and text were recorded in Mowbray’s
Christmas Carols in 1861, but he claimed that it appeared in “an
old broadside, printed a century and a half since” (roughly
1710). It is apparently much older even than that; the phrase
“the merry organ” appears in Chaucer’s “Nonne Preestes Tale”,
and holly and ivy are common motifs in pagan celebrations which
predate the Christian influence in Europe.</div>

<div><b>In Dulci Jubilo</b><br clear="none">
Words: Nun singet und seid froh, attributed to Heinrich Suso
(ca. 1295-1366). Folklore has it that Suso, hearing angels sing
these words, joined them in a dance of worship. Translation from
The Oxford Book of Carols, 1928; Music: “In Dulci Jubilo,” 14th
Century German melody</div>

<div><b>Covertry Carol, Luly, lulay</b><br clear="none">
One of the most haunting of the carols written in the minor key,
Coventry Carol was sung in the pageant of the Shearmen and
Tailors, a mystery play put on by local guilds in Coventry, in
the 15th century. The most familiar text is that of Robert Croo
(which we sing), written in 1534. The Coventry Plays are
recorded as having been witnessed by Margaret, Queen of Henry
VI, as early as 1456, by Richard III in 1484, and by Henry VII
in 1492.</div>

<div><b>Tommorow Shall Be My Dancing Day</b><br clear="none">
The New Oxford Book of Carols suggests that the song was
originally part of a medieval Mystery Play. (It is also cited by
some sources to be of the 19th century.) This carol appears in
Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern by William Sandys in 1833,
and in many broadsides of that period. However, most historians
date the text from before the 17th century.</div>

<div><b>God Rest You Merry Gentlemen</b><br clear="none">
This melody appears to spring from the Cornwall countryside in
England, and the lyrics appear as early as 1770 in the Roxburgh
Ballads, but it is apparent from references in earlier texts
that the melody (of which there are actually two, though only
one is familiar in America) dates from a considerably earlier
period. It is commonly considered the “most popular” Christmas
Carol in England.</div>
