Are there any other kind of carols than Christmas Carols? For example are there Easter Carols I have never heard of?
There are Easter Carols, but you don’t hear much about them.
Wikipedia has a good article on the history of carols.
Some friends of mine go Halloween Caroling. I’m not sure what they sing…
I had the card/booklet when I was a kid.
That sounds like it would be kind of fun.
Spiders in cobwebs and bats in a belfry
A witches brew potion that’ll make you unhealthy
Dracula vampires lurking downstairs
These are a few of my favorite scares
If you define carol as a song you sing under someone’s window, then yes I’m thinking only Christmas. But if you define carol as a seasonal hymn, then no, there are hymns for all religious seasons and events. Lent, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter, Pentecost, harvest time, All Saints Day … we sing 'em all. Plus many Marian hymns. From a thousand years ago to composed this year.
Well, as has already been said, a carol is a “seasonal hymn” One of the ones in your link, the very last one “Thine is the Glory” is a favorite of mine, and I plan to have it as one of the four hymns included in my funeral service.
There are advent carols.
Yep. We’ve been on those for a month now. Come O Come Emmanuel, People Look East, Lo How A Rose . . .
Kelly Carols? (Deck Us All With Boston Charlie)
(Bold added.)
Hanukkah carols? (I had a little dreidel, I made it out of clay, . . . )
Passover carols? (One kid, One kid, My father bought for two zuzim . . . )
Purim carols? (Oh, once there was a wicked wicked man and Haman was his name, sir. . . . )
Ramadan carols? Kwanzaa carols?
Fourth of July carols? (Oh, I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy . . . )
Cinco de mayo carols?
Conan O’Brien had a children’s choir sing St. Patrick’s Day, President’s Day and Daylight Saving Time carols when he hosted Late Night.
In some European countries, there are “Martin songs” which are sung by children on St. Martin’s Day, often in processions. (And although I am terribly bad at memorizing song lyrics, these are, strangely enough, the ones I do remember).
There also is a great number of songs for the carnival season (in Germany).
