	Facts about topic: (Carol (music)) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Today the carol is represented almost exclusively by the Christmas carol (Joyful religious song celebrating the birth of Christ), and to a much lesser extent by the Easter carol, however despite their present association with religion, this has not always been the case.
		The word carol is thought to have been derived from the French (The Romance language spoken in France and in countries colonized by France) word caroller, a circle dance accompanied by singers (in turn derived from the Latin (Any dialect of the language of ancient Rome) choraula).
		Nonetheless, carols did not regain their former popularity until a revival in the 19th century (additional info and facts about 19th century) when many surviving non-religious carols were re-discovered and arranged for church use with new Christian lyrics.

		Coventry Carol: the Holy Innocents 16th Century English - Mystery plays, performed in the streets on stages upon carts, were popular in the 1300’s and enjoyed by Margaret, Queen of Henry VI in 1456, by Richard III in 1484 and by Henry VII in 1492.
		Carol of the Birds Bas-Quercy, France - Carol of the Birds is also known by its first line of lyrics, “Whence comes this rush of wings?” Because nature was created pure and beautiful, the peasants composed many carols depicting animals, trees and flowers.

		Today the carol is typified by the Christmas carol, and to a lesser extent by the Easter carol.
		Following the banning of religious festivities during the Protestant Reformation, when carol writing eventually resumed in the late 17th century the new carols generally resembled hymns, sung more frequently in churches than in ale houses, while non-religious carols were often given new Christian lyrics.
		In modern times, songs that may once have been regarded as carols are now classified as songs (especially Christmas songs), even those that retain the attributes of a carol - celebrating a seasonal topic, alternating verses and chorus, and danceable music.

	THE COVENTRY CAROL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Coventry Carol (often called The Lullay Song) actually is not a Christmas carol because the words refer to Jesus as an infant, and are not actually to do with the birth itself.
		Therefore, an old carol like "Lullay" offers us a rare opportunity to understand what was most important to the less educated people in the past...since they did not write their feelings down.
		There are some carols about drinking and fighting, but the majority are associated with the leading religious feasts of the year, and most of those refer to Christmas.

	Coventry Carol, The (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Coventry Carol was originally found in the Coventry Pageant of the Shearmen and Tailors, a mystery (miracle) play of the fourteenth or fifteenth century.
		The Coventry cycle did not survive; we have only two plays (that of the Shearmen and Tailors and that of the Weavers), from a manuscript dated 1591 -- and even this was burned in 1879, leaving us dependent on bad transcriptions from 1817 and 1825.
		In a further irony, even though the Coventry Carol is the only part of the Mysteries to be known to the general public (unless they encountered the Second Shepherd's Play of the Wakefield cycle in a literature class), the Coventry Pageant itself is rarely published.

	Coventry Carol - Version 1
		’The Coventry Carol’ was included in the "Pageant of the Shearmen and Tailors." Although the composer is unknown, the text was written in 1534 by Robert Croo.
		The only surviving source of this carol is the rough facsimile of the 1591 manuscript published by Thomas Sharp in his Disseration on the Pageants at Coventry (1825), where it is found, together with the Shepherds’ Carol ‘As I outrode’ as part of the Pageant of the Shearmen and Tailors.
		The Coventry plays were witnessed by Margaret, Queen of Henry VI, in 1456, by Richard III in 1484, by Henry VII in 1492, and we hear of the Smiths’ play being performed in 1584, which brings us near to the date where the tune appears.

		The Coventry Carol originated in the city in the Middle Ages and is based on the massacre of the babies of Bethlehem by King Herod.
		The carol is a lament by the parents of the babies and dates back to the 15th century medieval pageants performed by tradesmen’s guilds in the city.
		It is often performed at Christmas by the Coventry Cathedral Choir and was sung in a feature-length animated film of the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol, released in 2001.

	CVC's Coventry Carol Page
		The Coventry Carol, with its well-known 'Lully, lullay' refrain, correctly speaking, is not a Christmas carol because the words refer to Jesus as an infant, and are not concerned with the birth itself.
		The carol was one of the main forms of popular music in medieval Europe.
		Therefore, an old carol like "Lullay" offers us a rare opportunity to understand what most weighed on the minds of the less educated people in the past...since they did not write their feelings down.

	The Great Gildersleeve (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The beautiful, traditional English "Coventry Carol" became a Gildersleeve Christmas tradition, sung by Birdie on Christmas Eve for many years.
		Technically speaking, it's not actually a Christmas Carol since its subject is not the nativity, but the Slaughter of the Innocents by King Herod.
		The song was written for Coventry's "Pageant of the Shearmen and Tailors." It was sung as a lullaby by the women of Bethlehem, just before King Herod's men arrived to slaughter the children.

		According to the classic work, Richard Leighton Greene's 'The Early English Carol', 'a carol is a song of joy originally accompanying a dance...
		[1998:] [...] the magical moment in the Coventry mystery plays where, as the massacre of the innocents begins, the stage direction says 'the Women come in with their children, singing' and what they sing is that most haunting of all carols, Lullay, lullay, thou littel tine child.
		The carol lulls the mothers, audience and the children in their laps, announcing 'the possibility of security and bliss', but it doesn't prevent the massacre of the baby boys in the play.

		In this case the citizens of Coventry were in a phase of hating the military, possibly also as a result of the Civil War.
		Such was this hate that the young women of the town were forbidden to speak to the soldiers garrisoned there.
		It is suggested that the name Coventry is derived from Covin-tree, an oak which is supposed to have stood in front of the castle in feudal times.

		A Coventry Carol : "Nightowls of Coventry" captures a bygone era
		Shot here in its entirety (on Super 16mm and not cut-rate digital video) for under $500,000 raised through private investors and grants, it's Cleveland Heights filmmaker Laura Paglin's comic-tragic homage to the Coventry Road community in the early 1970s, when the hippies were on their way out and the yuppies on their way in.
		Nightowls of Coventry was shot in 1999; during the long road to post-production, Coventry Road's Co-op Grocery store has closed, as has the street's onetime indie-movie theater, the Centrum, and a succession of funky vegetarian/ethnic restaurants.

		Al and Amy "fell in love" with Coventry Carol, but were a bit hesitant when they saw that John Floridis had included it in a medley he'd already recorded for Ornaments.
		In a flurry of fun (even silly, at times) e-mails with our producer, we assured them that their treatment of Coventry Carol wouldn't be redundant, as John used it as a second melody, and their arrangement would likely be very different, in any case.
		What a wonderful way to follow up our special moment with Pete Seeger than to segue into the hauntingly beautiful, luxuriously contemplative sounds of their Coventry Carol.

		This was illustrated by members of the Corps representing each of the gifts, although some of the gifts were a bit lacking in the necessary numbers (except the Drummers drumming, enthusiastically augmented by some of the younger Corps members).
