Thirteenth Gentu.
USIC and song have always been
associated with Cirlstmas.
In Itoman-Catholic countries.
as early as the Third century, it be-
'came the custom to usher ia the
iChrlstmas festivities with musical
masses.
The practlee of singing carols or
canticles was supposed to recall the
"In Excelsls Gloria" of the ,ngels and
the song of the shepherds on the
first Christmas night.

At/first, Carols were generally re-
!llgious in character, and were written
with Latin and English words in al-
iternateHnes, or with a Latin refrain.
