Noel is based on the famous English Carol The First Noel.
The age of this song is not clear.Some scientists argue that tis song is from early thirteenth century, others say that it's from the sixteenth century.
The first publication was in 'Christmas Carols, Ancient and Modern', compiled by William B. Sandys. (London, 1833).
The exact origin is unknown. By Norman influences on the text, with the result that the spelling of the song is not certified (Noel, Nowell), an individual will sometimes claim that France is the cradle of this song, but in general assumes that the First Noel 'for the first time somewhere in England sung.

'Noel' is gebaseerd op de zeer bekende Engelse Carol 'the First Noel'.
Over de 'leeftijd' van dit lied is men het niet eens. Zo zijn er geleerden die beweren dat het al vanaf begin dertiende eeuw gezongen werd, anderen zeggendat het lied vanaf de zestiende eeuw bestaat.
De eerste publicatie plaats was in een verzamelbundel: 'Christmas Carols, Ancient and Modern', bijeengebracht door William B. Sandys. (Londen, 1833).
Over de exacte herkomstis men het wel eens, deze is onbekend. Door Normandische invloeden op de tekst, wat tot gevolg had dat de spelling van het lied niet eensluidend is (Noel, Nowell), wil een enkeling nog wel eens beweren dat Frankrijk de bakermatvan dit lied is, maar over het algemeen wordt aangenomen dat 'the First Noel' voor het eerst ergens in Engeland gezongen is.

The following section opens with a beautiful brass choir adaptation of It Came Upon A Midnight Clear and develops into a lush, full band setting of this charming carol. The finale begins as a quick, light version of Here We Come a-Wassailing ending with a declarative brass fanfare with small bits of Bring a Torch, Jeannette Isabella and Angels We Have Hear on High. This high-energy holiday arrangement features all sections of the ensemble with exceptional emphasis on the percussion writing. Viva Noel! will be a solid opener or closer for any holiday concert!
