description

"Deck the Halls" or "Deck the Hall" (which is the original title) is a traditional Christmas and New Years' carol. The melody is Welsh dating back to the sixteenth century, and belongs to a winter carol, Nos Galan. The English lyrics first appeared (still called Nos Gallan) in volume 2 of Welsh Melodies, a set of four volumes authored by John Thomas with Welsh words by John Jones and English words by the Scottish musician Thomas Oliphant, although the repeated "fa la la" goes back to the original Welsh Nos Galan and may originate from medieval ballads.
