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.

D
e
Ukrainian Bell
Carol is onderdeel
van het grote koorwerk
Shchedryk van de
Oekraiense componist
Mykola Dmytrovich
Leontovych (1877-1921).
De melodie is gebaseerd
op een 'shchedrivka', een
lied dat van oudsher
werdgezongen op de
Oekraiense 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
Oekraiense
melodiegebruikt.

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 lauteten. Aus der
Melodie entstand unter
anderem auch das bekannte
Carol of the Bells
von Peter J. Wilhousky.
Philip Sparke griff fur
seine bewegende
Bearbeitung jedoch auf
die originale ukrainische
Melodie
zuruck.
Ukraini
an Bell Carol
constitue une des parties
de l'œuvre chorale
Shchedryk du
compositeur ukrainien
Mykola Dmytrovich
Leontovich (1877-1921).
La melodie s'inspire d'un
vieux chant traditionnel
ukrainien
(
shchedrivka)
chante le Jour de l'An
(celebre le 13 janvier,
conformement au
calendrier julien) dans
l'espoir que l'annee a
venir se presente sous de
bons hospices. A
l'ecriture de
Shchedryk, Mykola
Leontovich a choisi de
changer les paroles. Il
opte pour la legende
selon laquelle, toutes
les cloches des eglises
se sont mises a
carillonner joyeusement
pour annoncer la
naissance de Jesus. La
melodie du chant a
inspire au moins quatre
noelsdifferents.
Carol
of the Bells en est
la version la plus
celebre. Elle a ete
adaptee en 1936 (texte et
melodie) par Peter J.
Wilhousky (1902-1978)
d'apres la version
originale de Mykola
Leontovich. Philip Sparke
s'est base sur la melodie
du chant traditionnel
ukrainien pour realiser
cet arrangement brillant
et petillant.
Ukrainian Bell
Carol costituisce una
delle parti dell'opera
corale Shchedryk del
compositore ucraino
Mykola Dmytrovich
Leontovich (1877-1921).
Il testo narra una
leggenda secondo la quale
le campane delle chiese
si sono messe a suonare
per annunciare la nascita
di Gesu. La melodia di
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.
