Carol of the Bells is a song that has been a favorite of mine for many years. I’ve sort of been known for performing it around Christmas time as well, and so when I was writing music for my “Winter Symphony” album, I knew I wanted to include this song.

I wanted it to be a very cinematic version of the music, and so it’s with great pride that this music video turned out as beautiful as it did – because I feel that it fits the music so well. This music video features the beautiful and talented 16 year old Carolynne May Guinup as the ballerina. She endured some very cold weather dancing through the forest of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington in the month of November. Give her a thumbs up for that!

And YES, we did haul a real antique grand piano into the forest as well! Someone asked if it was “photoshopped”. No, indeed not.

Єврощедрик. Carols of the Bells. Вильнюсский хор “Bel Canto” спел “Щедрик” в поддержку Майдана. Вільнюський хор заспівав “Щедрик” в підтримку Євромайдана. «Щедрик» — одна з найпопулярніших обробок Миколи Леонтовича, знана не тільки в Україні, але й у всьому світі під назвою «Колядка Дзвонів» (англ. Carols of the Bells, Ukrainian Bell Carol, Ukrainian Carol) Choras „Bel Canto” Ukrainos žmonėms padrąsinti skiria savo atliekamą ukrainiečių dainą „Ščedrik”. Vilniaus mokytojų namų mišrus choras „Bel Canto” Ukrainos žmonėms padrąsinti skiria savo atliekamą bene žymiausią pasaulyje ukrainiečių dainą „Ščedrik”, Vakaruose žinomą kaip Kalėdinė dainą „Carol of the Bells”. Choras atliko šios dainos ukrainietišką originalą. “Shchedryk” (from Ukrainian: Щедрий вечiр, “Bountiful Evening”) is a Ukrainian shchedrivka, or New Year’s carol. It was arranged by composer and teacher Mykola Leontovych in 1916, and tells a story of a swallow flying into a household to sing of wealth that will come with the following spring. “Shchedryk” was originally sung on the night of January 13, New Year’s Eve in the Julian Calendar (December 31 Old Style), which is Shchedry Vechir. Early performances of the piece were made by students at Kyiv University. “Shchedryk” was later adapted as an English Christmas carol, “Carol of the Bells”, by Peter J. Wilhousky following a performance of the original song by Alexander Koshetz’s Ukrainian National Chorus at Carnegie Hall on October 5, 1921. Wilhousky copyrighted and published his new lyrics (which were not based on the Ukrainian lyrics) in 1936, and the song became popular in the United States, where it became strongly associated with Christmas.
