Playlist of Worldwide Carols
Caroling born yet in the pagan Roman times, when in early days of New Year, friends and family visited each other, gave gifts and each other and sang “kalendae”, praising the beginning of the month, the household and the environment. Music combined customs and from the very beginning of history has been an expression of joy. Over the centuries these songs, even among Christians, took on a religious character known today. Currently carols and christmas songs are sung during Christmas – from December until the end of January. In the past whole family on Christmas Eve would sit and sung carols. In countries such as England, France and the United States custom of singing religious carols considerably diminished relative to listening to the Christmas songs from youtube or TV.
From contemporary carols (used in religious services) we should distinguish songs on topics related not to the birth of Jesus, but with a period commonly associated with Christmas, for example Polish song “Jest taki dzień”, German song “O Tannenbaum” or English songs “Jingle Bells” and “White Christmas”. According to Christian tradition, author of the first Christmas carol was St. Francis of Assisi, and it was sung in his crib.
The most popular christmas songs are: “Let it Snow!”, “O Tannenbaum”, “Last Christmas”, “Jingle Bells”, “Mistletoe And Wine”, “All I Want For Christmas Is You”, “Santa Lucia”, “12 Days of Christmas”, “White Christmas”. All of them are popular around the world.
