A study of the carol form immediately leads into the field of the hymn; each is a form of praise or worship. The hymn is as instinctive as life itself, and as universal as the air man breathes. Hymns to the sun god, to the many Babylonian deities, to the Great Spirit of the American Indian - these are found, along with others in all ancient literature.

There are not many festivals in the church calendar that attract such a significant number of liturgical occasions supported by words and music as Christmas and the New Year. In some areas of Poland, this period includes Advent which is an integral part of the religious focus of the celebration of the birth of Christ. Given that until now, there has been no monographic work dedicated to carols in Pomerania, against a backdrop of carol singing in the broader sense, it is the intention of the author to provide an insight from the perspective of an insider. On the basis of documentary evidence (manuscripts and printed matter), a carol genre spanning four centuries can be observed in Kashubia. The genre developed within the following three directions which frequently co-existed: - church works, historically the oldest, first mentioned in 1586, - folk music, first mentioned in 1843, - traditional, regional music from the 1930s onwards.

Through the process of historical linguistics it is possible to determine approximate dates of authorship and meaning that establish the conventions of a particular genre. To accomplish such a study, elements of phonology, morphology, and syntax are compared and the results create a field of descriptors representative of a style of writing of a period. By using the method on eight well-known Christmas carols, four were determined to have been written prior to the dates previously speculated, possibly originating in the Middle Ages. The remaining four were written based on the conventions set by the earlier medieval carols.

It is often challenging for early advanced piano students to move from intermediate level repertoire to standard repertoire because the techniques and difficulties present in the new repertoire are simply too overwhelming for them. "A Holy Night: 10 Arrangements of Timeless Carols" can help bridge the gap between the two repertoire categories by introducing several advanced techniques and combinations of techniques to early advanced students in a non-overwhelming way. Several standard techniques that were widely used by composers of different styles are addressed in the arrangements: legato and chord playing, orientation in different keys, pedaling, dynamics and octave playing. The topic of fingerings is also covered since using correct fingerings is a key for any technique to work. The arrangements help to prepare early advanced students for standard repertoire by allowing them to learn, practice, and perform a variety of standard repertoire techniques in short and engaging pieces. This dissertation is intended to demonstrate to private piano teachers ways in which this arrangement of mostly well-known seasonal tunes can be used to assist in the transition to more advanced repertoire.
