Thread Name: Origins: Coventry Carol (Lullay, thou little...)
Subject: RE: Origins: Coventry Carol
There seem to be a fair number of songs that get called Christmas Carols that seem questionable. Good King Wenceslaus(sp?) is one. One I recently learned about Christ was born in Bethlehem.
It seems if it mentioned the birth of Jesus & events around it, it gets called a Christmas Carol.
There are carols for other seasons as well, but it hard to see how Coventry Carol would qualify there either.
