Like the 1816 "Angels from the Realms of Glory", the lyrics of "Angels We Have Heard on High" are inspired by, but not an exact translation of, the traditional French carol known as "Les Anges dans nos campagnes" ("the angels in our countryside"), whose first known publication was in 1842. [3] The music was attributed to "W. M.".
The lyrics of Angels We Have Heard on High were written to a slightly modified version of the music of French traditional song Les Anges dans nos campagnes (literally translating to 'The Angels in our Countryside'). Chadwick's lyrics are clearly inspired but are not a direct translation of the song, though there are similarities.
A variation of this tune, "Gloria", is used for the American carol Angels We Have Heard on High. Sometimes the original "Gloria in excelsis Deo" refrain from the French carol is sung in place of Montgomery's lyric: "Come and worship Christ the new-born King". In the United States, "Regent Square" is the most common tune for this carol. [1]
