Many people unknown that this melody is from Ucraine. It wrote Mykola Leontovich. In original "Shedrik".

Many people don't know that this melody is from Ukraine. It was written by ........ (= that's how you would write this sentence gramatically correct)
This melody was originally written by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych, and named «Shchedryk». Very beautiful folk song , you should listen to.🇺🇦
Always been my FAVORITE.¥
Народная украинская песня в обработке Н. Леонтовича
Best crismas song
its very very old traditional Ukrainian song caverd by Ukrainian composer M.Leontovich
That's true 👍 💯 😄
Thank you everyone for your kind words! This was so much fun to perform live, especially with the choir (since my studio album version doesn't have choir). Carol of the Bells has been one of my favorite carols for a long time - and I loved "sprucing" it up with Vivaldi's "Winter", as well as giving it a little of my signature epic sound. You guys are great and thank you so much for the love and support. ❤️ Merry Christmas!
very nice version of our native Shedrik which we are thinging every Rojdestvo 7 January and the time till 19 January.
Absolutely Amazing!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas!!
is it possible to get the notes of piano partitura?
@@victoruben07 very professional.
*Lyrics*
Hark how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say
Throw cares away
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
Ding dong ding dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling. (oh! Ah! ahh)
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere (from everywhere)
Filling the air
Oh how they pound, (oh how they pound)
Raising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling their tale. (telling their tale)
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas, (merry, merry, merry, merry christmas)
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas. (merry, merry, merry, merry christmas)
On on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To every home
Ah! Ah! ah!
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
Lá, lá, lá, lá
Hark how the bells, (hark how the bells)
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say, (all seem to say)
Throw cares away (throw cares away)
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
(Bringing good cheer, oh)
Oh how they pound, (oh how they pound)
Raising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling their tale (telling their tale)
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas
(Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas)
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas
(Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas)
Ah! Ah! ah!
This is not original lyrics. Original is about bird, about birth....
Thank you !
I really love this timeless old carol, and this arrangement is remarkable. Prayers for the people of Ukraine.
Beautiful version, thankful to Mr. Leontovich for creating Shedryk ("Carol of the Bells").
IT'S THE PRETTIEST VERSION I´VE EVER HEARD...IT MADE ME CRY...BRIGTH!!!
Thank you 😊
That s it
Omg Jennifer your divine!!!!!!*
Christmas 2023 is approaching and I can’t wait to hear this song being played worldwide again 🙂❤
This is the song Shchedrik by Ukrainian composer Leontovich. About 100 years ago, Vigovsky translated it into English.

Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed this. ❤️🙏 When I posted this performance, never did I ever think it would get this many views (over 1.5 million as of 12/2021).
Was I aware that it was NOT a perfect performance? Absolutely. We did two back-to-back evening concerts, but only filmed one of the performances, this was the first night (I believe the 2nd night was better).
Was I aware of a few not-totally-in-sync with each other spots between the orchestra and myself? You bet.
But I am aware live performances are never perfect, and did I love performing this and want to share? Absolutely.
The beauty of a live performance is the energy you feel when you are there. And as a recording artist and composer who does a rare few live performances here and there, it always takes GREAT courage for me to overcome performance anxiety, fear of criticism, and judgment and just put my heart out there because THAT is why I do it. I do it to give a gift to the audience, to say "even though this isn't perfect, I'm not perfect, it is my gift to you." And my heart, my soul, and my face smile in this performance because of it.
Thank you for watching, and being here. And to those who randomly find my performance and don't take the time to do any research on who I am, here's just a few answers to random comments:
- "Why is the choir not singing more?" Answer: I am a pianist. I wrote this arrangement for the piano, not for choir. It was adapted for choir specifically for this concert, but it was meant to feature the piano.
- "Why so much of the red dress girl?" Because the woman in the red dress (me) was the featured soloist in this concert, I wrote the arrangement you are hearing, and I'm also performing it. (This is also my CZcams channel you are commenting on, not just some random user upload). This arrangement is from my album "Winter Symphony", and this specific concert debuted my music from this album.
Thanks!
