They note that nouvelet comes from the same root as noël, and that both denote "news" or "newness." This was a New Year's carol, as opposed to a Christmas carol, with versions dating to the early 1500s. Numerous versions have been found, largely inconsistent. They took their version from the 1721 Grande Bible des noëls, taunt vieux que nouveaus. Even so, they made alterations to several of the French verses, according to their notes, which contain additional material to which the reader is referred. English translations appeared as early as the 17th and 18th centuries; translations are still being made as recently as 1998. The tune itself, in a Dorian mode, echoes in its first five notes the Marian hymn Ave, Maris Stella Lucens Miseris.” By hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com
