[Artemisia] Christmas carols?

[B Wolf]

The other great book to look through at your local large library is the
Musica Britannica volume IV, Medieval Carols, all from early-mid period and
holiday related, mostly in Latin.

Here are a few period Christmas carols.  It is likely your shire members
have heard these songs and sung them in high school, community or church
choirs.

In Dulci Jubilo/Good Christian Men Rejoice, 14th c.
Pat-a-Pan, Burgundian
O Come, O Come Emmanuel, 15th c.
Coventry Carol/Lully, Lullay, 16th c.
The Holly and the Ivy, unknown but has distinct pagan overtones
Riu Riu Chiu, 16th c.
Bring a Torch Jeanette Isabella, 16th c.
Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming, 16th c.

Try to inter-library loan "The Oxford Book of Carols".  You will have more
carols than you know what to do with.  It is worth reading just for the
historical information about carols, even if you never sing a tune.
