Victorian Christmas Carol

What better way to get into the festive sprit then singing a Victorian Christmas carol. During this era they were very in to joyful choruses of Christmas songs and had revived old medieval songs whilst adding their own spin and writing new ones!

These were meant for both the relaxed occasions such as when singing amongst friends and family and the other songs were meant for more religious, respectful occasions. People who played instruments used to gather old nativity songs then turn them into new and mix them up a bit such as: A Good Christmas Box, Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern and O Holy Night.

In a typical Victorian home, it was usually common to have a piano or an organ in one of the rooms which on Christmas day after Christmas dinner was served and presents were opened, everyone who was in the house used to gather around the piano as someone played and sing Christmas carols.

Where carolling actually originated from was from the ancient English custom of travelling house to house as they sang to get the return of food. This was through the Victorian era when this tradition become popular and the main countries carolling thrived in were America and England.

When Victorians did think up new carols from old ones or thought up a brand new song all about the festive season of Christmas, the carols usually incorporated a religious and were quite often sang in Church as the religious references were quite significant. During this melodic worship and celebration, there was a number of different instruments that were incorporated into the mix such as that pipes, drums, bells and voices!
