About Deck the Halls

Words: Traditional English, as printed in The Golden Book of Favorite Songs (1923)

Tune: "Nos Galan", traditional Welsh (in print by 1781)

Deck the Halls is sung to a Welsh tune, Nos Galan, which means New Year's Eve; it was in print by 1781, in John Parry's British Harmony, and the harpist Edward Jones printed it in 1784. The English words are Thomas Oliphant's, a Scottish musician, printed in 1862 in a book of Welsh melodies. Our arrangement is read from the four parts of The Golden Book of Favorite Songs, an American songbook of 1923, in E-flat. This is the first verse for 2 to 4 singers, bright and quick: the alto sings most of the "fa la la"s a third under the tune, and the rising "fa la la" in the middle climbs to the song's top note.
