About the Song
"Carol of the Bells" (also known as the "Ukrainian Bell Carol") is a choral miniature work originally composed by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Dmytrovych Leontovych. Throughout the piece, a four note motif is used as an ostinato and was taken from an ancient pagan Ukrainian New Year's chant known in Ukrainian as "Shchedryk". The original work was intended to be sung a cappella. "The Carol of The Bells" was premiered in December 1916 by students at Kiev University, and was introduced to Western audiences by the Ukrainian National Chorus during its concert tour of Europe and the Americas. It premiered in the United States on October 5, 1921 at Carnegie Hall, and was later adapted into English language version by Peter Wilhousky in the 1930s. An alternate English version ("Ring, Christmas Bells") with more explicitly Nativity-based lyrics, written by Minna Louise Hohman in 1947, is also widely.    Download this sheet!
About the Artist
Christmas is an annual holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus. It refers to both the day commemorating the birth; and also the Christmastide season which that day inaugurates; concluding with the Feast of the Epiphany. The date of the celebration is traditional; and is not considered to be Jesus's actual date of birth. Christmas festivities often combine the observation of the Nativity with various cultural customs; many of which have been influenced by earlier winter festivals.
