If any1 can get the actual background, like a quick little brief on it, it would be GREATLY appretiated. You have no idea how hard it has been for me to find background on it. I need it for school, extra credit. We are playing it in concert band and it is extra credit if we can make a little paragraph about the song, and even more extra credit if we announce it on stage... so I chose 'The Holly and The Ivy" Because I play piccolo for it. I didn't know it was so old though. But the oldest song we're playing is 'A Child is Born' a 15th century English Carol, I bet it was originally called 'A Childe (old English is) Borne' ... I don't know... oh well. Help is appreticated!
