Toutefois, mis \u00e0 part ces \u00e9crits, nul ne peut confirmer pareils dires, et encore faudrait-il pour cela avoir une preuve tangible. Ce que l\u2019on sait avec certitude cependant, c\u2019est que les chants de No\u00ebl remontent \u00e0 une \u00e9poque lointaine. D\u2019ailleurs, les premiers dont on peut prouver l\u2019existence, car il subsiste encore des traces, datent du XVIe si\u00e8cle.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c0 cette \u00e9poque, la <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blognoel.com\/en\/christmas-songs\/\">music<\/a> \u00e9tait principalement \u00e9crite pour accompagner des po\u00e8mes, et pour la plupart d\u2019entre eux, il s\u2019agissait de chants liturgiques ou de cantiques latins. Dans le cas de certains cantiques de No\u00ebl, on ignore m\u00eame qui en sont les auteurs, tant l\u2019origine demeure t\u00e9n\u00e9breuse.<\/p>\n<p>Long ago, people sang to celebrate Christmas. Then, over time, carols appeared in churches to proclaim the Good News. Later, it was the turn of castles, cottages, rich and poor to sing, to chase away the fear engendered by winter nights. The carols then transformed into true Christmas carols, once punctuated by joyful rounds that evoked the Nativity.<\/p>\n<p>Few people know this, but the famous songs &quot;Il est n\u00e9 le divin enfant&quot; and &quot;Les anges dans nos campagnes&quot; date back as far as the 18th and 19th centuries. As for the famous &quot;O Tannenbaum,&quot; &quot;Mon beau sapin&quot; in French, it was composed in 1824 by a professor from Leipzig named Ansch\u00fctz. However, it is claimed that this song was plagiarized from the tune of a very popular German song dating from the 16th century.<\/p>\n<p>In short, regardless of who the authors are, and whatever their origin, Christmas carols have crossed all borders. In Spain, they are called Villancicos, while in Russia, Koliadki are sung at the doorsteps of homes. In Romania, Christmas is celebrated by singing Kolinde, while in Poland and Bulgaria, Koleda is sung, in Italy, Canti Natalizi, and in Germany, Weihnachtslieder.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the Gospels, the first Christmas carols were sung by angels.
