Program Notes
Take a time-honored Christmas song, the style of Mannheim Steamroller, a horn riff from Chicago, the rock flair of Green Day, mix them together and you get a really cool version of Carol of the Bells. This rockin' arrangement will really liven up any holiday concert and have the crowd humming it through the whole season
- Program Note from publisher
Carol of the Bells is a popular Christmas carol composed by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych in 1914 with lyrics by Peter J. Wilhousky. The song is based on a Ukrainian folk chant called Shchedryk.
The song is recognized by a four-note ostinato motif. It has been arranged many times for different genres, styles of singing and settings and has been covered by artists and groups of many genres: classical, metal, jazz, country music, rock, and pop. The piece has also been featured in films, television shows, and parodies.
