教堂集锦
Carols颂歌这个词起源于中世纪，被用于舞蹈歌曲或圆圈舞的伴唱。不清楚carol 这个
字是从法语 "carole" 或拉丁语 "carula" 来的，"carula" 意思是 a circular dance
. 四世纪的罗马时代，第一首carol诞生了。但直到13世纪，法国，德国和意大利才有
了一定规模的用本地语言唱的圣诞歌曲。用英语演唱的圣诞歌曲是在1426年开始的。
Wikipedia有一段文字说明了这个事实，Christmas carols in English first appear
in a 1426 work of John Awdlay, a Shropshire chaplain, who lists twenty five
"caroles of Cristemas", probably sung by groups of 'wassailers', who went
from house to house. The songs we know specifically as carols were
originally communal songs sung during celebrations like harvest tide as well
as Christmas. It was only later that carols begun to be sung in church, and
to be specifically associated with Christmas. 所以圣诞歌曲在早期是在圣诞及
其他的丰收节日以及圣诞节临近的其他节日唱的。大约1350至1550年是英国颂歌的黄金
时代。到了14世纪，颂歌成为了一种流行的宗教歌曲的形式，主题往往围绕着基督或者
圣母玛利亚。15世纪的颂歌广为普及，到了16世纪，颂歌的发展又步履蹒跚，而18世纪
中叶的文艺复兴，又使颂歌获得了新生而且使其发展达到了一个新的高峰。Today
carols are regularly sung at Christian religious services.
经典圣诞歌曲3首连唱
The author and composer of We wish you a Merry Christmas cannot be traced
however it is believed to date back to England in the sixteenth century. The
tradition of carollers being given Christmas treats for singing to wealthy
members of the community. Over the years the fashion for figgy puddings
mentioned in the song has faded. But for the curious, the recipe consisted
of the most important ingredient which was of course figs together with
butter, sugar, eggs, milk, rum, apple, lemon and orange peel, nuts, cinnamon
, cloves and ginger! Not dissimilar to the modern day Christmas Puddings!
The lyrics of Joy to the World were written in 1719 by Isaac Watts (1674-
1748). The father of John Watts was a Non-conformist and so extreme were his
views that he was imprisoned twice. His father's influence over Isaac was
demonstrated when he choose to attend Non-conformist Academy at Stoke
Newington in preference to a university. Watts was ordained as a Pastor of
an Independent congregation. The music to the carol is by George Frederick
Handel (1685-1759).
Believe it or not Jingle Bell, one of the most famous American Chirstmas
songs, was originally written for Thanksgiving! The author and composer of
Jingle Bells was a minister called James Pierpoint who composed the song in
1857 for children celebrating his Boston Sunday School Thanksgiving. The
song was so popular that it was repeated at Christmas, and indeed Jingle
Bells has been reprised ever since.
