Culture carols and carol singingcarols and carol singingCarols are traditional songs that are sung just before Christmas. Many of them celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.Carols were first sung in the 14th century. They were popular songs with a lively tune, and contained references to the celebrations and positive feelings associated with Christmas, as well as to Christ's birth. One of the oldest printed carols, dating from 1521, is the Boar's Head Carol, which was sung in Queen's College, Oxford as Christmas lunch was carried in. Other traditional carols that are thought to date from this time include God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen and While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night.In England during the 16th century, the Puritans tried to stop people singing carols, but the words continued to be passed from one generation to the next. In the 19th century many of these carols were collected and printed. Some tunes were taken from folk songs, others were new. Many of the most popular carols heard today date from this time. They include O Come, All Ye Faithful, Hark! the Herald Angels Sing, Good King Wenceslas, Away in a Manger and O Little Town of Bethlehem.In the 19th century groups of carol singers, called waits, used to gather in the streets to play and sing for local people, who thanked them by offering drinks or mince pies (= small round pies containing dried fruit, apples and sugar). This tradition became known as wassailing and still continues in Britain, with people meeting to sing carols in most town and village centres. Any money that is collected is given to charity. Some singers walk from street to street, singing carols outside each house. In the US door-to-door carol singing is not common, except in a few small communities. Carols are also sung in churches and, in Britain, in some schools, in special Christmas services. One of the most famous carol services is the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, which is performed at King's College, Cambridge, and broadcast on BBC radio on Christmas Eve.Topics Religion and festivalsc1, Musicc1Oxford Collocations DictionaryCarol is used before these nouns:- concert
