The First Noel

The First Noel is a traditional Christmas carol that is generally believed to have originated in Cornwall, a region in southwestern England with a rich Celtic heritage. The carol’s Cornish roots are evident in its name, “Noel,” which is derived from the Cornish word “Nowel,” meaning “Christmas.” The song’s melody and structure also bear similarities to other traditional Cornish carols. While the exact date of its composition is unknown, The First Noel is thought to have been written sometime in the 18th or 19th centuries.
