Calypso Carol a three-verse Christmas song is a joyous upbeat seasonal tune that would be appropriate for student Choruses and amateur choirs alike. Calypso like all Caribbean music has its roots in Africa and underwent enormous transformation through the experiences of the people of Trinidad and Tobago for whom it was a method of political expression. In the 1930â??s calypso rhythms entered popular music in the US and the West and then enjoyed a resurgence in the 1950â??s and 1960â??s when Calypso Carol was penned by Richard Graves. Arranged for a mixed choir of SATB Voices with Piano accompaniment and Guitar chords.
