What would Christmas be with­
out carols? How well they ex­
press both the joy and solemnity
of Christmastide, when even the
least musical among us is awak­
ened to the spirit of the season
through traditional songs.
"And suddenly there was with
the Angel a multitude of the hea-
venly host praising God and say-
ing 'Glory to God in the High­
est . . "
Beginning with this "first car-
ol”, as the years went by, each
people and each nation contri­
buted to the music of Christmas.
Traditional folk songs were set
to music and passed by word of
mouth from one generation to
the next.
Other carols were the work of
great writers and composers who
found inspiration for their crea­
tive genius in the always-new
story of Christmas.
Musicians such as Felix Men-
dolssohn, Friedrich Handel, and
Franz Gruber composed some of
our best known carols, while
Martin Luther, Charles Wesley,
Isaac Watts and Phillips Brooks
are listed among the more famous
of the lyric writers.
Carols are usually either relig­
ious or convivai. The religious
carols are often included in the
churches services, and hail the
birth of the Holy Child. The
convivai exalt the fun and fes­
tivities of the season.
Just about the best known and
best loved Christmas carol, "Si­
lent Night" is comparatively re
cent, having been composed in
the early 19th Century by Franz
Gruber and Fr. Joseph Mohr in
Arnsdorf, Austria.
Rainier Voters
Reject District
Formation of a recreation dis­
trict encompassing the approxi­
mate boundaries of the Rainier
union high school district was
defeated by Rainier area voters
at an election recently.
Vote on the measure was 334
no and 131 yes with the Rainier
grade school and Beaver Homes
Grange hall as the polling places.
Among projects of the district
if it had been formed were con
struction of a swimming pool,
maintenance of recreation pro
gram, creation of parks, play­
grounds, etc.
Earlier this fall Rainier voters
turned down a bond issue for con
struction of a swimming pool on
high school property to be oper
ated by the high school district.
Sell it with an Eagle Classified.
