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 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.

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 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.

Ukrainian 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.

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.
