Χορός (choros) in both modern and ancient Greek, means Dance. Αυλός (aulus) means pan-pipe or flute. In Ancient Greece there was a festival in honour of Dionysus, in that festival Theatre was born but also, a long tradition of religious dances to the sound of a flute. That tradition reached the Middle Ages where song and dance accompanied religious plays. That section was named choraula. In England and during the Protestant reformation in the 16th century, religious songs were translated from Latin so everyone could sing along. Those songs were named after the French and shortened version of choraula, Carole. ΧΟΡΟΣ/ CAROLS
