    A Tannenbaum is a fir tree ( die Tanne) or Christmas tree ( der Weihnachtsbaum ). Although most Christmas trees today are Fichten (spruce) rather than Tannen, the qualities of the evergreen have inspired musicians to write several “Tannenbaum” songs in German over the years.
    This is just one of at least a dozen English versions of this traditional German song, dating back about 500 years – long before it was considered a Christmas carol. (A Tannenbaum is a fir tree.) The English “O Christmas Tree” versions came about after the Christmas tree custom had spread across the Christian world.
    Surprisingly the song was not related to Christmas originally. The first known Tannenbaum song lyrics date to 1550 and came from the region known as Silesia that crosses both Germany and Poland. A similar 1615 song by Melchior Franck (1579 to 1639) goes: “Ach Tannebaum Ach Tannebaum du bist ein edler Zweig!
