Resonet In Laudibus. Fourteenth century. Referred to by Wicel (1550) as 'one of the chief Christmas songs of joy'. According to Dreves, its oldest known form is in the Mosburg Gradual of 1360. The words of Joseph, lieber Joseph mein (no. 28) were sung also to this tune, as were several other texts. It occurs in several fifteenth-, sixteenth-, and seventeenth-century printed collections, Catholic and Lutheran. The many versions and parodies of this carol's text in German sacred songbooks are evidence of the carol's immense popularity. The fourteenth-century melody exists in various versions and is to be found in most of the German sixteenth- and seventeenth-century songbooks and in Cantiones. For what not to do with the words see Introduction page 15. ['wreath the holly, twine the bay'.]
