The "Ave Maria Polka" is the radio blaring, "Jingle Cats" are meowing "Greensleeves" and the door, a shrill sound of "Silent Night" is. For the untrained ear, this musical stew as tacky and not by any means, traditional. However, this budget feast of many demanding composer of classical music has been influenced!

It 'very simple to classic roots of our most important Christmas, when the 9-year-old next door password, turbot, Batman Smells! "For an amount of"Jingle Bells". (And the majority of children, adults), surprised the men "died in wigs" are responsible for many of their favorite holiday songs.

German composer Felix Mendelssohn wrote symphonies, concerts, fairs and hundreds of other works. Curiously, his most famous work, with the exception of its popular "Wedding March", "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing." It was written in 1840 as part of his cantata Festgesang that honored printer Johann Gutenberg and the invention ofPressure!

The original texts were written by Charles Wesley 99 years before the music written, but have been modified to fit the song. Ironically, Wesley had specifically requested slow solemn music for his words. To crown it all, Mendelssohn had made it clear that his music was for secular use only!

Although it was written 260 years ago, George Frideric Handel's Messiah "is most often the work of Christmas symphonies in the world. Curiously, it was over, while suffering Handelpartial paralysis on the left side due to a stroke and took only 3 weeks to write! Even more strange was the cool reception he received during his life Handel. E 'was only through the annual Easter service at the Hospital of the Innocents, which "was the Messiah" is one at all!

Music historians have recently discovered a painful mistake of credit. Psalms cleric published Isaac Watts' of David, "based on Psalm 98 in the" Old Testament "in 1719 In 1839, American composer LowellMason has decided to put the translation Watts' in music and "Joy to the World" was born.

The confusion has come from small footnote Mason "by George Frideric Handel," which is a tribute to the late composer. A misunderstanding was soon accepted as truth, and for 100 years, trade has been rewarded for writing the music for "Joy to the World!"

More great music such as Beethoven, Bach, Holst, Corelli, Saint-Saens and Vaughan Williams are responsible for goodChristmas cantatas, oratorios and Christmas carols you hear every year in the month of December. If they wanted to or not, this beloved carolers have inspired generations of artists.
