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.

Michael Brand's evocative and atmospheric setting captures the fife, drum and heraldic fanfare of the battlefield. Ideal for contest and festival.

The old Agincourt carol is medieval and unmistakably English. Our King set forth to Normandy is the refrain memorably featured by William Walton in his music for Henry V.

Charles Dickens certainly would have known the three carols in A CHARLES DICKENS CHRISTMAS. They were among the best-known and best-loved carols of the Victorian Era, and were a staple of the repertoire of roving waits, or carollers, that appear in his novels. Today this music is as familiar as Santa Claus and Tiny Tim. THE FIRST NOWELL was first collected in Christmas Carols, Ancient and Modern by William Sandys in 1833. It is most probably 200 years older than that. The Oxford Book of Carols contains nine verses, which makes it an ideal processional for Christmas or Epiphany (the feast commemorating the coming of the Magi). COVENTRY CAROL, or Lully, Lullay, comes from the medieval tradition of mystery and miracle plays. In 1534 the Pageant of the Shearman and Tailors Guild included a scene in which the mothers of Jewish children sang this haunting lullaby after hearing the horrifying order: Herod the king, In his raging, All young children to slay. The music is anonymous; the text believed to be by Robert Croo. ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH is probably of French origin, but the English long ago adopted it as their own. Besides the French text, Les Anges dans nos compagnes, it is known in several versions and by several titles, including Angels from the Realms of Glory, When the Crimson Sun Had Set, and Westminster Carol. It belongs to a category known as macaronic carols, which mix vernacular verses with Latin refrains - in this instance, Gloria in Excelsis Deo (Glory be to God on High).

This short three-movement work paints a picture of one of the most beautiful and historically rich countries in the world. The first movement, This Proud People, quotes bits of Scotland the Brave, the unofficial anthem of Scotland, before introducing the sounds of a traditional pipe and drum band. The second movement, The South of Skye, pays tribute to countless quiet sandy beaches and small islands. The final movement, Glasgow, the West End, salutes this culturally rich area with a wild fiery jig that continues to accelerate to a powerful conclusion. Fantastic writing!
