Answer: HYMNLESS

The title suggests to play the notes backwards, which then give the following christmas carols:
  • Angels We Have Heard On High
  • The Little Drummer Boy
  • O Little Town Of Bethlehem
  • God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
  • The First Noel
  • O Christmas Tree
  • Good King Wenceslas
  • Jingle Bells

Playing these title backwards (i.e. just taking last letters) spells out HYMNLESS.
