Christmas Carols

Christmas Carols are religious songs or hymns traditionally sung in the month of December up to the Christmas in all across world, with the aim to lift the religious and festive spirits. Christmas carols were incorporated in the religious Church services for the first time, in the 12th century by the St. Francis of Assisi. Many modern, famous, and popular Christmas carols sung regularly for both sacred and secular occasions have been written by Alfred Burt.

The medieval singing patterns offer the Christmas carols a unique musical composition.
