Did you know that many Christmas carols we cherish today have deep roots in sacred polyphony?
Long before modern harmonizations, Christmas music was composed in rich polyphonic textures—multiple interweaving vocal lines that expressed the mystery and reverence of the Nativity. These sacred works were often performed in chapels, monasteries, or during liturgical celebrations, evoking the awe of Christ's birth through solemn harmonies and spiritual intensity.
In many Catholic traditions, polyphonic carols were sung not just for joy, but as acts of devotion, prayer, and theological reflection. Their melodies and counterpoints were designed to uplift the soul and bring listeners closer to the divine mystery of the Incarnation.
