Inhalt
PART 1: COMPOSED CAROLS
THE MIDDLE AGES
O solis ortus cardine
Angelus ad Virginem
Verbum caro factum est: Dies est leticie
Verbum caro factum est: In hoc anni circulo
Verbum Patris umanatur
Veni, veni, Emanuel
Qui creavit celum
Corde natus ex Parentis
Personent Hodie
Puer nobis nascitur
ENGLISH CAROLS 1400-1700
Nova! nova!
Hayl, Mary, ful of grace
Ther is no rose of swych vertu
Nowel: Owt of your slepe aryse
Thys endere nyghth I saw a syghth
Lully, Lulla, thow littel tyne child
Come, love we God!
Swete was the song the Virgine soong
Thus angels sung
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
O remember Adam's fall: Remember, O thou man
EUROPEAN CAROLS 1550-1700
Riu, riu, chiu
Verbum caro factum est
Y la Virgen le desia
Gaudete!
En! natus est Emanuel
Puer natus in Bethlehem
Resonet in laudibus
Quem pastores laudavere
In dulci jubilo
Vom Himmel hoch, da komm'ich her
Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht
Vom Himmel hoch, o Engel, kommt!
Ein Kindlein in der Wiegen
Es ist ein Roess entsprungen
O Jesulein Süss! o Jesulein mild!
EUROPE AND AMERICA 1700-1830
Adeste, fideles
Christians, awake!
Lo! he comes, with clouds descending
Joy to the world!
Come, let us all with heart and voice
A virgin unspotted
Ye nations all, on you I call
Glory to God on high
Hail the blest morn!
Stille Nacht! heilige Nacht!
Rejoice, ye tenants of the earth
Sound, sound your instruments of joy!
THE LATER NINETEENTH CENTURY
Hark! the herald angels sing
Once, in royal David's city
See, amid the winter's snow
Angels, from the realms of glory
Good King Wenceslas looked out
What child is this
Three Kings of Orient
Away in a manger
O little town of Bethlehem
It came upon the midnight clear
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
Ding-dong ding!
Past three o'clock
Blessed be that maid Marie</
