\"\"<\/a>Deck The Halls, chanson populaire de Christmas<\/a> pourtant fredonn\u00e9e par des milliers de gens, ne semble provenir \u00e0 la fois de nulle part, mais aussi de plusieurs sources. En fait, on croit que ses premi\u00e8res origines pourraient remonter jusqu\u2019au XVIe si\u00e8cle, alors qu\u2019\u00e0 cette \u00e9poque lointaine, les chants de No\u00ebl constituaient plut\u00f4t des airs sur lesquels les gens dansaient. Ainsi, Deck The Halls aurait, selon toute vraisemblance, servi d\u2019accompagnement \u00e0 une danse folklorique. C\u2019est du moins ce que laisse transpara\u00eetre le manuscrit d\u2019un harpiste d\u00e9nomm\u00e9 John Parry Ddall, et publi\u00e9 en 1784, dans lequel y se trouve la m\u00e9lodie. <\/p>\n

However, these few words "Fa La La," repeated many times in the song, are said to come from a medieval ballad, and to have appeared in the 19th century. They are also found in an old winter song, entitled Nos Galan, while the music appears in an 18th-century work by Mozart, and was used for a piano and violin duet. However, the English lyrics that everyone sings today are in no way a translation of the manuscript written by John Parry Ddall, nor are they a transposition of the song Nos Galan. It is known, however, with certainty that an 1881 publication, entitled Franklin Square Song Collection, mentions these words. <\/p>\n

Bref, il s\u2019agit l\u00e0 d\u2019une autre chanson de No\u00ebl dont les origines demeurent incertaines et non confirm\u00e9es officiellement, ce qui n\u2019a toutefois pas emp\u00each\u00e9 Deck The Halls de conna\u00eetre un franc succ\u00e8s. D\u2019ailleurs, tout r\u00e9cemment, ce chant figurait tant au Billboard Country qu\u2019au Billboard am\u00e9ricain. Parmi les artistes les plus connus \u00e0 avoir endisqu\u00e9 Deck The Halls, on y retrouve notamment Julie Andrews, The Trapp Family Singers, Loretta Lynn, The Everly Brothers, Nat King Cole, The Commodores, Barenaked Ladies et Justin Bieber. Quant \u00e0 la version francophone, elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 popularis\u00e9e par le groupe Bundock. Deck the Halls a \u00e9galement donn\u00e9 birth<\/a> \u00e0 un film du m\u00eame titre, produit en 2006, et mettant en vedette Danny DeVito. <\/p>\n
