16. The most familiar carols do very well when someone takes a wire brush to the verdigris and polishes them up all nice, like. Danish choral composer John Høybye did that favour for 'God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen', here sung by I Dodici, which translates as 'The Dodici'.

15. A French Noël, which sounds like a double-entendre from the 1950s but is in fact a folk song that's been sort of absorbed as a carol. Coming from (probably) the Anjou region in (maybe) the 15th-16th Century, it's sung unusually not by shepherds, but shepherdesses.
