Christmas music comprises
a variety of genres of music normally performed or heard around the Christmas
season. Music associated with Christmas may be purely instrumental, or in the
case of many carols or songs may employ lyrics whose subject matter ranges from
the nativity of Jesus Christ, to gift-giving and merrymaking, to cultural
figures such as Santa Claus, among other topics. Performances of Christmas
music at public concerts, in churches, at shopping malls, on city streets, and
in private gatherings is an integral staple of the Christmas holiday in many
cultures across the world.
Music associated with
Christmas is thought to have its origins in 4th century Rome, in Latin hymns such
as Veni redemptor gentium. By the 13th century, under the influence of Francis
of Assisi, the tradition of popular Christmas songs in regional native
languages developed. Christmas carols in the English language first appear in a
1426 work of John Awdlay, an English chaplain, who lists twenty five "caroles
of Cristemas", probably sung by groups of 'wassailers' who would travel
from house to house. In the 16th century, various Christmas carols still sung
to this day, including "The 12 Days of Christmas", "God Rest You
Merry, Gentlemen", and "O Christmas Tree", first emerged.
Dashing
through the snow
On
a one-horse open sleigh
O'er
the fields we go
Laughing
all the way
Bells
on bob-tail ring making our spirits bright
What
fun it is to ride and sing
A
sleighing song tonight
Oh,
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh,
what fun it is to ride
In
a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle
Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
Oh,What
fun it is to ride
In
a one-horse open sleigh.
A
day or two ago,i thought i'd take a ride
And
soon miss fanny bright,
Was
seated by my side
The
horse was lean and lank
Misfortune
seemed his lot
He
got into drifted bank
And
we,we got up sot.
Oh,
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh,
what fun it is to ride
In
a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle
Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
Oh,What
fun it is to ride
In
a one-horse open sleigh.
Now
the ground is white
Go
it while your young
Take
the girls tonight
And
sing this sleighing song!
Just
get a bob-tailed bay
Two-fourty
for his speed
Hitch
him to an open sleigh and crack
You'll
take the lead.
Oh,
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh,
what fun it is to ride
In
a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle
Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
Oh,What
fun it is to ride
In
a one-horse open sleigh.
