A general term for religious folk songs sung during the Christmas season. However, carols are the English term; in France they are called noël, in Germany they are called Weihnachtslied, and in Spain they are called villancico. In all countries, the songs tend to be familiar and cheerful. The lyrics are generally simple yet fresh, and the joy people feel at Christmas is sung frankly and with witty rhetoric.A Christmas CarolSource: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
クリスマスの時期に歌われる宗教的な民謡を総称する。ただし,キャロルは英語の呼び方で,フランスではノエルnoël,ドイツではクリスマスのリートWeihnachtslied,スペインではビリャンシーコvillancicoと呼ばれる。どの国の場合も,親しみやすく明るい調子の曲が多い。歌詞のイメージは一般に素朴ながら新鮮で,民衆のクリスマスに寄せる喜びが,たくまぬ修辞で率直に歌い上げられているのが特徴である。
