"Carol of the Bells" is a Christmas carol composed by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych with an English text created later by Peter J. Wilhousky who wrote lyrics entirely unrelated to the original ones. Apart from this name, the song is known in English-speaking countries as "Ukrainian Bell Carol". The carol is based on a folk motive known in Ukrainian as "Shchedryk". Wilhousky's lyrics are copyrighted, although the musical composition and original arrangement is not.
The song is recognized by a four-note ostinato motif (see image to the right). It is a holiday favorite throughout the English-speaking world, having been arranged hundreds of times for different genres, styles of singing and settings. For example, it was been covered by artists and groups of many genres: classical, jazz, rock, and pop. It has also been featured in films, television shows, and parodies.
Вот так украинцы!
