It wasn’t always associated with Christmas, however; the melody comes from a Welsh winter song called “Nos Galan,“ which is actually about New Year’s Eve. The first time “Deck the Halls“ was published with English lyrics was in 1862, in Welsh Melodies, Vol. 2, featuring Welsh lyrics by John Jones and English lyrics written by Thomas Oliphant. © CHOR GESANG - Knabenchöre (2022) Published with coutersy of St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle CHOR GESANG - Knabenchöre öre/ #TheChoirOfStGeorgesChapelWindsorCastle #JamesVivian #Knabenchormagazin #ChorGesang #DeckTheHalls #StGeorgesChapelWindsorCastle #StGeorgesChapel #WindsorCastle #ChristmasCarol #Carol #Christmas #ChoralMusic #Knabenchor #BoysChoir
