Christmas Songs of My Ancestors: Anglo-Saxon

Continued from Christmas Songs of My Ancestors: Vikings

I’ve been able to trace several ancestral lines back to the Angles and the Saxons, who, along with the Jutes, began to invade England after the Romans left in the early 400s.

These Germanic invaders pushed the Celts (Britons) to the north and west, and eventually occupied much of what is England today.

The Anglo-Saxon language is also referred to as Old English. I have no idea about authentic Christmas songs and celebrations of the Saxons, so I have two offerings for you. The first is likely what the Saxons would have heard in church, the second is a more modern carol translated into Old English.

This time period predates Gregorian Chant, so in church, it likely would have been Old Roman Chant in Latin. This Alleluia is said to date back to the 2nd century.

To hear what Old English sounds like, click the image or caption below to view the video on YouTube. The carol itself isn’t authentic for the time period, but the language is.
