Alexander L’Estrange 1. What sweeter music 3. Drive the cold winter away What sweeter music can we bring All hail to the days that merit more praise Than a carol, for to sing Than all the rest of the year, The birth of this our heavenly King? And welcome the nights that double delights, Awake the voice! Awake the string! As well for the poor as the peer! Good fortune attend each merry man's friend, That doth but the best that he may; Forgetting old wrongs, with carols and songs, 2. The Sussex carol To drive the cold winter away. On Christmas night all Christians sing To hear the news the angels bring. This time of the year is spent in good cheer, News of great joy, news of great mirth, And neighbours together do meet, News of our merciful King's birth. To sit by the fire, with friendly desire, Each other in love do greet; Then why should men on earth be so sad, Old grudges forgot, are put in the pot, Since our Redeemer made us glad, All sorrows aside they lay, When from our sin he set us free, The old and the young doth carol his song, All for to gain our liberty? To drive the cold winter away. When sin departs before His grace, To mask and to mum kind neighbours will come Then life and health come in its place. With wassails of nut-brown ale, Angels and men with joy may sing To drink and carouse to all in the house, All for to see the new-born King. As merry as bucks in the dale; Where cake, bread and cheese is brought for your All out of darkness we have light, fees, Which made the angels sing this night: To make you the longer stay; "Glory to God and peace to men, At the fire to warm will do you no harm, Now and for evermore, Amen!" To drive the cold winter away. When Christmastide comes in like a bride, With holly and ivy clad, Twelve days in the year, much mirth and good cheer, In every household is had; The country sport is then to resort To gambols or Christmas play, Where everyone does the best that they can, To drive the cold winter away. 5. Gaudete! (Rejoice!) Gaudete, gaudete! Christus est natus ex Maria virgine, gaudete! 4. The holly and the ivy Tempus adest gratiæ The holly and the ivy, Hoc quod optabamus, When they are both full grown, Carmina lætitiæ Of all the trees that are in the wood, Devote reddamus. The holly bears the crown. Gaudete, gaudete! Christus est natus Oh the rising of the sun ex Maria virgine, gaudete! And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Deus homo factus est Sweet singing in the choir. Natura mirante, Mundus renovatus est The holly bears a blossom, A Christo regnante. As white as the lily flower, Gaudete, gaudete! Christus est natus And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, ex Maria virgine, gaudete! To be our sweet Saviour. Oh the rising of the sun, etc… Ezechielis porta Clausa pertransitur, The holly bears a berry, Unde lux est orta As red as any blood, Salus invenitur. And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ Gaudete, gaudete! Christus est natus For to do us sinners good. ex Maria virgine, gaudete! Oh the rising of the sun, etc… Ergo nostra contio The holly bears a prickle, Psallat iam in lustro; As sharp as any thorn, Benedicat Domino: And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ Salus Regi nostro. On Christmas Day in the morn. Gaudete, gaudete! Christus est natus Oh the rising of the sun, etc… ex Maria virgine, gaudete! The holly bears a bark, As bitter as any gall, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ For to redeem us all. Oh the rising of the sun, etc… 6. The first tree in the greenwood 8. The Wexford carol Now the holly bears a berry as white as the milk, Good people all, this Christmas time, And Mary bore Jesus, all wrapped up in silk: Consider well and bear in mind And Mary she bore Jesus our Saviour for to be, What our good God for us has done And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly. In sending his beloved son Holly! Holly! With Mary holy we should pray, And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly! To God with love this Christmas Day In Bethlehem upon that morn, Now the holly bears a prickle as sharp as the thorn, There was a blessed Messiah born. And Mary bore Jesus, on Christmas day morn: And Mary she bore Jesus our Saviour for to be, The night before that happy tide, And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly. The noble Virgin and her guide Holly! Holly! Were long time seeking up and down And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly! To find a lodging in the town. But mark how all things came to pass Now the holly bears a berry as black as the coal, From every door repelled, alas, And Mary she bore Jesus, who died for us all: As was foretold, their refuge all And Mary she bore Jesus our Saviour for to be, Was but a humble ox's stall. And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly. Holly! Holly! Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly! Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep To whom God's angels did appear Now the holly bears a berry, as blood is it red, Which put the shepherds in great fear And Mary she bore Jesus, who rose from the dead: ‘Arise and go’, the angels said, And Mary she bore Jesus our Saviour for to be, ‘To Bethlehem, be not afraid And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly. For there you'll find, this happy morn Holly! Holly! A princely babe, sweet Jesus, born.’ And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly! With thankful heart and joyful mind The shepherds went the babe to find And as God's angel had foretold They did our Saviour Christ behold Within a manger he was laid And by his side the virgin maid Attending on the Lord of Life Who came on earth to end all strife. 9. Angelus ad virginem / Gabriel’s message 10. I saw three ships come sailing in Angelus ad virginem, subintrans in conclave, I saw three ships come sailing in, Virginis formidinem demulcens, inquit Ave! On Christmas day, on Christmas day, Ave, regina virginum: coeli terraeque dominum I saw three ships come sailing in, Concipies et paries intacta sSalutem hominum; On Christmas Day in the morning! Tu porta coeli facta, medela criminum. And who was in those ships all three? Gabriel to Mary came, a holy message bare he.

  • CHRISTMAS-CAROLS-Notes-Rev.Pdf
    CHRISTMAS CAROLS Although any Christmas song might be called a ‘carol’ these days, the word actually refers to an ancient English song-form where a refrain or chorus repeated after every stanza (or verse) and is often connected to celebrations like Christmas or Easter. The word carol is derived from the Old French word carole, a circle dance accompanied by singers (in turn derived from the Latin choraula). Carol’s origins are complex and disputed. Some of our familiar Christmas carols were originally pagan songs, sung at the Winter Solstice celebrations They were very popular as dance songs from the 1150s to the 1350s, after which their use expanded as processional songs sung during festivals, while others were written to accompany religious mystery plays. Whatever the origin, composers all over Europe started writing carols but most people could not understand them since they were written and sung in Latin. This changed in the early 13th century when St. Francis of Assisi introduced Christmas songs in church services in Italy for the first time — and true Christmas carols were officially born. In Assisi’s Nativity plays, which began in 1223, actors sang songs that described the scenes in the plays. Although the choruses were sometimes in Latin, the songs were usually written in the language that people could understand. The actors composed Christmas carols to sing during their Nativity plays and, later, they would walk through the streets still singing. It didn’t take long for these plays to spread to France, Spain and the rest of Europe. The tradition of singing Christmas songs in native languages became well established.

  • Barbara Kowalik
    Studia Anglica Posnaniensia 42, 2006 A POPULAR CODE FOR THE ANNUNCIATION IN MEDIEVAL ENGLISH LYRICS BARBARA KOWALIK University of Warsaw ABSTRACT The paper deals with a popular type of the Annunciation lyric in medieval English poetry. A brief survey of the role of the angelic announcement to Mary in medieval art and culture is given. The argument then pursues several distinctive traits of this kind of lyric in a number of poems from the thirteenth through the sixteenth centuries. The distinguishing features include a tripartite structure, a common set of words, phrases, ideas and images, emphasis on singing, a spring set- ting, tryst between lovers, and the use of popular genres, particularly ballads and carols. By anal- ogy with music, it is argued that a certain popular code for the Annunciation existed, against which interesting artistic transformations of the theme were introduced. For example, the Annun- ciation was evoked in a highly compressed and allusive manner by means of but a few elements of the code. The principal elements of the alleged code derived from popular art and imagination. Their application to theological issues frequently led to the blurring of boundaries between the sacred and the profane, and between the Christian and the pagan. The paper proposes a distinction between Lent and alleluia subtypes of the Annunciation lyric. It also demonstrates how the pas- tourelle, aubade, and chanson d’aventure conventions of secular love poetry were adapted to represent the Annunciation. Finally, it suggests a connection between the lyric “At a spryng wel” and a specific statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, like the much-reverenced statue of Our Lady at Walsingham.

  • “Never Mind the Reindeer”
    “Never Mind the Reindeer” Traditional Carols, Songs and Music for Winter, Christmas and New Year Transcribed by George Hinchliffe of The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain “Never Mind the Reindeer” was an all instrumental CD released by The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain in 1996 In 2020 the Orchestra is releasing this song book of transcriptions for ukulele of the pieces from the original album, with the addition of some extra music.
