Carol
of the Bells This version
of Carol of the Bells is
a new take on a
traditional carol. The
Ukrainian Bell Carol,
which has become an
important part of the
American holiday
tradition, was originally
composed by Mykola
Leontovych with lyrics by
Peter J. Wilhousky. In
this arrangement, the
flexibility of the
instrumentation allows it
to be played with as few
as five wind or string
players, and the various
recognizable motifs are
passed around the
ensemble, giving everyone
something interesting to
play. Chambers
incorporates energetic
grooves with the bass
line and percussion, as
well as a new B melody
that adds extra technique
and a fresh sound. Please
enjoy Carol of the Bells
on your next holiday
concert! Note to the
Conductor: Use this piece
to introduce or reinforce
the following musical
concepts: Steady pulse in
a driving 3/4 meter,
definition of ostinato,
accidentals (minimal),
and Syncopated feel
(minimal). Carol of

Char
les 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). Ensemble

an adaptation of an old

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

Leontovich ha ispirato
almeno quattro canti
natalizi diversi. Carol
of the Bells di Peter
J.Wilhousky e la versione
piu celebre. Philip
Sparke ha scelto di
ispirarsi alla melodia
originale del canto
tradizionale ucraino
(shchedrivka) per
realizzare questo
brillante
arrangiamento.
