	Christmas carol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Christmas carol is a carol (song or hymn) whose lyrics are on the theme of Christmas, or the winter season in general.
		Carols suffered a decline in popularity after the Reformation in the countries where Reformation settled, but survived in their rural communities until the revival of interest in Carols in the 19th century.
		In England there is a tradition of Christmas carolling (earlier known as wassailing), in which groups of singers travel from house to house, singing carols, for which they are often rewarded with money, mince pies, or a glass of an appropriate drink.

	While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night
		They were unwittingly carrying on a centuries old West country tradition of the "Holly Riders"; moorland groups of carol singers touring remote farms with lanterns and wearing a sprig of holly on their coats and a holly wreath around hats.
		Carol singing in particular suffered a decline in popularity and by the turn of the 19th century the custom was thought by antiquarians to be in danger of dying away.
		Today we sing carols from door-to-door and in town squares once again and I marvel at the virility of the 700 year old tradition despite the secularization of Christmas to the point where Advent calendars have been replaced by Bart Simpson or Barbie 'Count Down Days to present giving'.

	King's Singers Christmas - Carols from the King's Singers - Reviews
		King's Singers Christmas marks something of a break with the past as the boys forsake the luxuries of the studio, with its multiple mics and the technical trickery, to stand naked before a straightforward stereo pair in the church of St Michael's, Highgate.
		There are 24 carols, one for every day of Advent, plus a bonus track Born on a New Day, which is a seasonal reworking (with string quartet) of one of the group's crowd pleasers.
		The King's Singers, perennial favourites (and not to be confused with the King's College Choir) are six male singers, with changing personnel as anno domini catches up, professional and unaccompanied (apart from a drum and a string quartet enlisted for two items).

		Guinness required that all participants knew the words to the carols and that the singing went on for at least 15 uninterrupted minutes.

		Artistic continuity in fact seems to one of the King’s Singers abiding strengths, as evidenced by the fact that, since their founding in 1968, they have had only 18 members.
		For singers who, to a man, got their start in the resounding environments of English cathedral choirs, this must make their San Francisco visits a bit of a grind.
		The medieval carol “Angelus ad Virginem,” for the three lowest voices, gave ample proof that these singers are not afraid to employ a nasally pointed head tone to proper effect, making the austere open fifths and rough harmonies truly growl.
