Christmas is a way long away, but I have a question about a Christmas carol?
The music for the very popular holiday song, "Carol of the Bells," was created by the Ukraine's most popular composer, Mykola Dmytrovich Leontovych (1877-1921). Despite being born in Ukraine, living in Ukraine, and largely working with Ukrainian music, Leontovych and his works are most than occasionally called "Russian." The composition from which "Carol of the Bells" was derived, the choral work Shchedryk, which was first performed by students at Kiev University in December 1916, has not been exempted from the mislabeling. But the Ukrainians, from one perspective, have had the last laugh in this cultural comedy of errors, for by far the best-known carol music to originate in any portion of the former Soviet Union was Leontovych's brilliant musical portrayal of the sounds of Christmas bells.


Since the synthesis of "Carol of the Bells" in 1936, the song, also known as "Ukrainian Carol," has increasingly become a part of the celebration of Christmas in the United States. Its public acceptance was surely boosted by the employment of the melody in a series of television advertisements for champagne. The idea, apparently, was that the champagne was as tasteful and sparkling as the music. In addition, the melody has been utilized in three other American carols. In 1947, M. L. Holman wrote "Ring, Christmas Bells." In 1957, the anonymous lyrics "Come, Dance and Sing" were published, and by 1972 another "Carol of the Bells" (this time anonymous) was published. Wilhousky's original "Carol of the Bells" can be easily distinguished from the later one by his first line, "Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells." The second "Carol of the Bells" starts with "Hark to the bells, Hark to the bells." This multiple usage of Leontovich's music for four carols as well as for a variety of other purposes is sound testimony to its quality and popular appeal.

Reply:It's a Ukrainian song. It's also called the Ukrainian Carol.
Reply:'Carol of the Bells' is a round, like one person starts, then a second person begins when the first person is on the second line; 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat' is the best example of a round. In classical music, actually Baroque music, if a round is played by an orchestra/ instrument, ie. organ, piano, it's called a fugue. (Bach loved fugues to pieces and wrote hundreds--well, a lot!) There are several Christmas rounds; you might even call Handel's 'The Hallelujah Chorus' a round. (Sorry, George Handel, but it is a round of sorts.) The origin of 'Carol of the Bells' is Ukranian. It was written in 1916 and adapted to English in 1936 for the BBC.
