"Shchedryk" (Ukrainian: Щедрик, from Щедрий вечiр, lit. 'Bountiful Evening') is a Ukrainian shchedrivka, or New Year's song, known in English as "The Little Swallow". It was arranged by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych between 1901 and 1919. The song tells a story of a swallow flying into a household to sing of the 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), known in Ukraine as Malanka or Shchedry Vechir ("Generous Evening"). Early performances of the piece were made by students at Kyiv University.
The song was made into a Christmas carol, "Carol of the Bells", by the American composer and educator Peter J. Wilhousky, following a performance of the original song by Oleksandr Koshetz's Ukrainian National Chorus at Carnegie Hall on October 5, 1922. Wilhousky copyrighted and published his own lyrics in 1936. The music has since become strongly associated with Christmas.

You nailed it!
Well said, but let me add :) it's not Ukrainian FOLK; its Ukrainian composer's name is Mykola Leontovich
To whoever is reading this, thank you for being alive and sharing this moment in time. I hope this brings you a bit of joy and reminds you that you’re not alone. Wishing you good health and happiness always.

Bullshit virtue signalling to promote a monetized channel. Despicable.
Thank you! I wish the same for you!💖

This is perfect, a forgotten tune from my childhood!🥰🥹🥰... Let the healing continue taking place on Mother Earth and to ALL her occupants! God Bless Humanity❤❤❤.
Words can't describe how much Christmas means to me. I'm someone who have never had those big Christmas celebrations or had any gifts on Christmas. Still, it's my favourite time of the year. I can imagine myself sitting rigt next to a fireplace on the wooden floor of a cozy dark room with just small lightings. I would see the heavy snowfall outside through my window. My ears yearn to hear the sound of the jingling bells. The decorated Christmas tree filled with lights and other decorations lifts my mood. The cloudy atmosphere outside and the dark ambient environment is both melancholic and blissful to me. It's something I want to experience in my real life someday. Honestly, this is what comes to my head whenever I think of Christmas. I just want these fine thoughts to be happening to me irl. I just can't describe that feeling of mine. Idk if anyone would think the same way or not. But I can assure that it's the finest time of the year. If you are going through a tough time rn, I just want to tell you that you can overcome it. When sorrow takes the control of your mind, just think of those days when you would wait for Santa to bring you gifts. Think of the days when you and your buddies make snowmans even though it's snowing heavily, and remember the cozy home you spended the Christmas time with your family. There is someone who deeply loves and cares about you.
This song just takes me to an imaginary world of mine. I'm leaving this comment here so that whenever someone reads it, they would actually feel the real magic of the jingling bells and the blissful Christmas. Idk if anyone would actually read this. But for those who do, I wish a heartfelt Merry Christmas to all who are watching this...
Stay strong, stay blessed..... 🎄 🎄 ☃️
Thank you for those kind words…but what ha
Need to you along the way is sad, I hope you’re life is better or improves ❤️
Thank you, I wish for you that dream will come true. You made me appreciate my home, I sometimes forget about the magic of winter. It is to me one of the most magical seasons as well. Happy Holi Days.. ❤😊
Um feliz natal direto do Brasil 🇧🇷
❤️❤️❤️❤️
You paint a beautiful picture, but please don't forget to include the true reason for the season, the incarnation and birth of Jesus, the Christ! You will enjoy the Spirit of God in even more abundant measure when you honor His Son and celebrate His memorial birthday! Merry Christmas, brother!
This music was written by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych in 1914. Mykola Leontovych (1 December] 1877 - 23 January 1921) was a Ukrainian composer, conductor, ethnomusicologist, and teacher. His music was inspired by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Lysenko and the Ukrainian National Music School. Leontovych specialised in a cappella choral music, ranging from original compositions to church music to elaborate arrangements of folk music.
🥰
He was a genius ❤
It is a Ukrainian folk song REMASTERED by Leontovych
I love reading the previous heartfelt comments.
From my experience, there is something so magical about this classic.
I can't explain with words. I just feel it.
Merry Christmas!
Free Ukraine!
Greetings from London.
God bless all!
💙🤍💫
To the amazing soul reading this, may your journey be filled with peace, happiness, and endless hope. In moments of struggle, may love and laughter be your guiding light, helping you find your way.

God bless you!
Чарівно, таємнича магія зими, наче у Карпатах побувала 🖤
Чудесна Українська щедрівочка ❤❤❤❤❤
Carol of the bells is my favorite, this was so much more…thank you. Happy Holidays to all.
Дуже дякую що підписали як звучить українською - Щедрик❤
Неймовірно красиво й атмосферно! Це відео тепер стане моєю різдвяною традицією. Щасливого Різдва!
🥰🥰🥰
I am really truly loving this beautiful music! Maybe it's because my great grandparents came from Poland Czechoslovakia and nearly Ukraine 🇺🇦 🎉🎉🎉❤😊
це мене трохи розслабляє
Merry Christmas from San Diego, California!
This is,a lovely video & one of my favorite Christmas tunes. Peace & love to all this Christmas. I am praying for you, Ukraine.
@user-xf8sc3jz5f; Thank you, so are we...and to you also peace and a wonderful Christmas. Stay healthy, happy and SAFE!✨🎆✨🎄🎁
Carol of the bells remains to this day my most favorite, heart-wrenching, nostalgic Christmas music 🥹🕊️✝️❄️
It's definitely one of my favourites too 💙 used to sing it as a kid in the choir 🥹
@ that's a sweet memory 😊
It is yeah 🌟
Me too!
Ethereal and beautiful.
Thank you ❤ I will show this to my mummy ❤
I hope your pain heals with time 🙏 life is full of different phases, some very hard and painful but it gets better, always 💙 wish you all the best and enjoy the holidays with your mum ✨💞🫂 don't forget to take care of yourself too 🌟
@ChalNjurshEp; Just know that you are not alone. I lost my sister this year and last year we burried my father, so this Christmas I only have my mom left, who is 84 years old, and I am ever so grateful, that I still have her...! My mom and me are trying to come to terms with the loss of our other family members now, and especially the loss of my sister. She got sick and died within only 19 days. She was completely healthy before that. We are still in shock. Just know, that you are not alone with that pain. There are more of us out there, than you know. Take care, and stay healthy! And have a very good new year, with lot´s of hope and joy!🎆🎍✨
Peace, much love and blessings to all with heavy hearts at Christmas. God loves you so very much! You can cast all your cares upon him and he will give you rest and hope!❤
So incredibly sorry 😢
Hang on to Jesus, we can't do it in our own strength, I'm caretaker to autistic nephew who is very violent at times ect, God gives us strength and wisdom❤prayers and remember this world is not our home, just passing thru
I love playing this on the piano! So much passion
This is my absolute favourite. When I was in high school we practiced this for months and we won the Championship for Calgary.
Aww 🥰 such a sweet memory! I also sang this in the choir!!
This music is so spellbinding and it makes me feel the Holiday spirit. Plus the mixtures of Ukranian folk music is so perfect and I have Ukranian blood in my mom's family.
That's wonderful to hear 💙 thanks for your comment ☺️
Gorgeous! Thank you and for the notes; I didn't realise the Ukrainian connections! 💙💙💛💛
Yes! The melody and harmony are exactly the same. It so happens that the English version is more mainstream ;)
@@simplywaves Thanks again.
And Tchaikovsky (the Nutcracker) was born in UKRAINE! That's another fact that you'll never hear from Russia.
@natalieturko4808 well... Unfortunately this is very often the case 🥴
@@natalieturko4808 Thank you for pointing this out. 💙💙💛💛
Thank you for the amazing and magic Ukrainian Christmas song! Beautiful music and video! Great job.

Чудове відео і музична обробка нашого Щедрика, дякую за це і за те, що написали у описі справжню назву цієї композиції, відому на увесь світ під іншою назвою✨ і за інформацію про походження, це надважливо, щиро дякую!
П.с. Будь ласка пишіть імʼя українців українською транслітерацією, наприклад не Александр Кошиць, а Олександр буде вірно , це має велике значення на шляху до нашої культурної деколонізації від росіянців, і так само для іноземців, які повинні чітко усвідомлювати відмінності між нами, мусимо їм це показувати, починаючи з імен, як основи. (У Вікіпедії безліч неправдивих речей та імен українців, зокрема, бо ведеться Вікіпедія звичайними людьми і рос пропаганди там купа; туди ж Ріпина, а не Рєпіна, Олександри Екстер, а не Алєксандри і тд).
Thanks a lot for your input and your kind words 🙏 I understand that what you pointed out can be a sensitive matter for Ukrainians. I will revise those names 😉 Take care and stay strong 💛💙
@@simplywavesmany thanks for your understanding and support, it is greatly and truly appreciated! Thanks for correcting the name, it matters a lot. Merry Christmas! ✨
@olenaganzel It was the least I could do! 🙏 Merry Christmas to you too ⛄🌟🎄🤍
Feliz natal 🎄☃️
The sound is really enchanting.
☺️🙏💙
Beautiful♥
Hold on my dear Ukraine! It's daunting time we live now. It's hard to celebrate knowing that this very moment our heroes are fighting at the front zone and some are kept and tortured in the enemy's prisons. But we are strong, we are great Nation! Merry Christmas! Glory to Ukraine!
🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely stunning and perfectly suited to my mood tonight - thank you, sincerely :) ❤🎄

It's amazing how many of these types of sites get the snow effect extremely bad. This site, however, did a really good job. That being said, I would have liked seeing wind blowing strongly through the trees. I liked the music though. One of my favorite Christmas songs.
happy holidays! ❣🎄
This is incredible.
Beyond beautiful. Wow
Thanks!
Thank YOU 🥹💗🎄🙏🌟❄️💞🧚💙
Hermoso ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
When I lived in Alaska. Our pastor wanted an ice skating rink. So we started clearing the land. In my mind I am there ice skating to Carol of the Bells.
