I've been doing these quizzes for over a year and I can only remember ever seeing one (maybe two) sheep quizzes, quite early on. Start again.

Music Traditionally, carols have often been based on medieval chord patterns, and it is this that gives them their uniquely characteristic musical sound. Some carols like "Personent hodie", "Good King Wenceslas", and "The Holly and the Ivy" can be traced directly back to the Middle Ages, and are among the oldest musical compositions still regularly sung.
