This well-known and frequently performed carol is scored for brass. After a unique 16-measure intro, the first time through is very close to the choral version. The second and third repetitiona contain enough variation to keep things interesting. Probably equally as enjoyable in this version as when sung. For this arrangement, substituting the French horn for trombone I might be the preferred choice. The tuba is entirely optional. .

Charles Dickens certainly would have known the three carols in A CHARLES DICKENS CHRISTMAS. They were among the best-known and best-loved carols of the Victorian Era, and were a staple of the repertoire of roving waits, or carollers, that appear in his novels. Today this music is as familiar as Santa Claus and Tiny Tim. THE FIRST NOWELL was first collected in Christmas Carols, Ancient and Modern by William Sandys in 1833. It is most probably 200 years older than that. The Oxford Book of Carols contains nine verses, which makes it an ideal processional for Christmas or Epiphany (the feast commemorating the coming of the Magi). COVENTRY CAROL, or Lully, Lullay, comes from the medieval tradition of mystery and miracle plays. In 1534 the Pageant of the Shearman and Tailors Guild included a scene in which the mothers of Jewish children sang this haunting lullaby after hearing the horrifying order: Herod the king, In his raging, All young children to slay. The music is anonymous; the text believed to be by Robert Croo. ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH is probably of French origin, but the English long ago adopted it as their own. Besides the French text, Les Anges dans nos compagnes, it is known in several versions and by several titles, including Angels from the Realms of Glory, When the Crimson Sun Had Set, and Westminster Carol. It belongs to a category known as macaronic carols, which mix vernacular verses with Latin refrains - in this instance, Gloria in Excelsis Deo (Glory be to God on High).

The Ukrainian Bell Carol is part of a large choral work entitled Shchedryk by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Dmytrovich Leontovych (1877-1921). The tune is an adaptation of an old 'shchedrivka', a song traditionally sung on Ukrainian New Year's Eve (January 13th) which hopes for good fortune in the year to come. The tune has since been the inspiration for at least four different Christmas carols, of which Carol of the Bells is the most famous. Philip Sparke has sourced the original Ukrainian melody to create this stirring arrangement.

De Ukrainian Bell Carol is onderdeel van het grote koorwerk Shchedryk van de Oekra ense componist Mykola Dmytrovich Leontovych (1877-1921). De melodie is gebaseerd op een ‘shchedrivka’, een lied dat van oudsher werdgezongen op de Oekra ense oudejaarsavond (13 januari). In Shchedryk voegde Leontovych de tekst toe over de legende die vertelt dat bij de geboorte van Jezus alle klokken op aarde begonnen te luiden. Sindsdien is deze melodiede inspiratiebron geweest voor ten minste vier verschillende Christmas carols, waarvan Carol of the Bells de beroemdste is. Voor dit meeslepende arrangement heeft Philip Sparke echter de oorspronkelijke Oekra ense melodiegebruikt.

Das Ukrainian Bell Carol (Ukrainisches Glocken- Weihnachtslied) ist Teil eines großen Chorwerkes namens Shchedryk vom ukrainischen Komponisten Mykola Dmytrovich Leontovych. Sein Text handelt von der Legende, die besagt, dass zu Ehren von Jesu Geburt alle Glocken läuteten. Aus der Melodie entstand unter anderem auch das bekannte Carol of the Bells von Peter J. Wilhousky. Philip Sparke griff für seine bewegende Bearbeitung jedoch auf die originale ukrainische Melodie zurück.

Il opte pour la légende selon laquelle, toutes les cloches des églises se sont mises carillonner joyeusement pour annoncer la naissance de Jésus. La mélodie du chant a inspiré au moins quatre noëlsdifférents. Carol of the Bells en est la version la plus célèbre. Elle a été adaptée en 1936 (texte et mélodie) par Peter J. Wilhousky (1902-1978) d’après la version originale de Mykola Leontovich. Philip Sparke s’est basé sur la mélodie du chant traditionnel ukrainien pour réaliser cet arrangement brillant et pétillant.
