noels
December choral pieces
Noels are Christmas carols or songs celebrating the Nativity.
The word comes from French and shares roots with the Italian *natale*, meaning birth.
A noel can also refer to the Christmas season itself, though this usage is literary and old-fashioned: The children sang noels by the fire.
