Так, ця пісня української душі об'єднала світи.
Many people don't know that this melody is from Ukraine. It was written by ........ (= that's how you would write this sentence gramatically correct)
This melody was originally written by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych, and named «Shchedryk». Very beautiful folk song , you should listen to.🇺🇦
Always been my FAVORITE.¥
Народная украинская песня в обработке Н. Леонтовича
Best crismas song
its very very old traditional Ukrainian song caverd by Ukrainian composer M.Leontovich
That's true 👍 💯 😄
Thank you everyone for your kind words! This was so much fun to perform live, especially with the choir (since my studio album version doesn't have choir). Carol of the Bells has been one of my favorite carols for a long time - and I loved "sprucing" it up with Vivaldi's "Winter", as well as giving it a little of my signature epic sound. You guys are great and thank you so much for the love and support. ❤️ Merry Christmas!
very nice version of our native Shedrik which we are thinging every Rojdestvo 7 January and the time till 19 January.
Absolutely Amazing!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas!!
is it possible to get the notes of piano partitura?
@@victoruben07 very professional.
Beautiful Ukrainian culture. This kinda magic that went years ago across the seas and oceans and give people kinda part of belief in the best future. Love it!
High culture. High spirits. Suffering must come to an end
Дякую безмежно! Неймовірне виконання!
Душа мого народу співає вашими голосами

That was the single most amazing piano playing I have ever heard in my 51 years. I have goosebumps everywhere.
Wow, thank you!! ❤️🙏🎵
❤🔥💛
@@jenniferthomasdo you actually record this???
I bet it sounded better
Christmas 2023 is approaching and I can’t wait to hear this song being played worldwide again 🙂❤
This is the song Shchedrik by Ukrainian composer Leontovich. About 100 years ago, Vigovsky translated it into English.

IT'S THE PRETTIEST VERSION I´VE EVER HEARD...IT MADE ME CRY...BRIGTH!!!
Thank you 😊
That s it
Omg Jennifer your divine!!!!!!*
I really love this timeless old carol, and this arrangement is remarkable. Prayers for the people of Ukraine.
Дякую, за варіант старословянської пісні "Щедрик", якій біля 1000 років. Оригинальний текст про початок нового року, нового життя. Тому вона буде звучати вічно. Слава Україні!
If your not moved by this Composition your heart is frozen
One of the most beautiful versions of this Christmas song. Had to hear it to bring in the season. Thank you🎄

I've loved this song since the 6th grade. Music teacher brought 5th and 6th graders together to perform this. Taught us culture. Thank you mrs mencer
Геніальна мелодія, відома на весь світ.Ураїнського, видатного композитора- Миколи Леонтовича. 🇺🇦
I was in interstellar all this while, thank you.
Words cannot express how beautiful this is! I'm in tears. I absolutely love this with all my soul!! Thank you so much!!!!
How can you hear this, and not just absolutely love people and being alive ❤and peace ....
🙏 pray
You make the piano sing !!!!! AND speak!!! I can hear Her her singing! You speaking an singing!! Through the notes!! THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU! SO POWERFUL!!!!!
Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed this. ❤️🙏 When I posted this performance, never did I ever think it would get this many views (over 1.5 million as of 12/2021).
Was I aware that it was NOT a perfect performance? Absolutely. We did two back-to-back evening concerts, but only filmed one of the performances, this was the first night (I believe the 2nd night was better).
Was I aware of a few not-totally-in-sync with each other spots between the orchestra and myself? You bet.
But I am aware live performances are never perfect, and did I love performing this and want to share? Absolutely.
The beauty of a live performance is the energy you feel when you are there. And as a recording artist and composer who does a rare few live performances here and there, it always takes GREAT courage for me to overcome performance anxiety, fear of criticism, and judgment and just put my heart out there because THAT is why I do it. I do it to give a gift to the audience, to say "even though this isn't perfect, I'm not perfect, it is my gift to you." And my heart, my soul, and my face smile in this performance because of it.
Thank you for watching, and being here. And to those who randomly find my performance and don't take the time to do any research on who I am, here's just a few answers to random comments:
- "Why is the choir not singing more?" Answer: I am a pianist. I wrote this arrangement for the piano, not for choir. It was adapted for choir specifically for this concert, but it was meant to feature the piano.
- "Why so much of the red dress girl?" Because the woman in the red dress (me) was the featured soloist in this concert, I wrote the arrangement you are hearing, and I'm also performing it. (This is also my TH-cam channel you are commenting on, not just some random user upload). This arrangement is from my album "Winter Symphony", and this specific concert debuted my music from this album.
Thanks!

Пісня - то душа народу, щирого українського народу 💙💛Талановита обробка Миколи Леонтовича, чудове виконання, голоси ніби дзвоники, неймовірно проникливо, до душі, слухаєш серцем та стає зрозумілим, чому український "Щедрик" чутно у багатьох країнах, на усіх континентах - це кожній людині ніби освітлює душу! 💙💛
This song allows you to feel freedom
*Lyrics*
Hark how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say
Throw cares away
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
Ding dong ding dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling. (oh! Ah! ahh)
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere (from everywhere)
Filling the air
Oh how they pound, (oh how they pound)
Raising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling their tale. (telling their tale)
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas, (merry, merry, merry, merry christmas)
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas. (merry, merry, merry, merry christmas)
On on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To every home
Ah! Ah! ah!
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
Lá, lá, lá, lá
Hark how the bells, (hark how the bells)
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say, (all seem to say)
Throw cares away (throw cares away)
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
(Bringing good cheer, oh)
Oh how they pound, (oh how they pound)
Raising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling their tale (telling their tale)
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas
(Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas)
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas
(Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas)
Ah! Ah! ah!
This is not original lyrics. Original is about bird, about birth....

This song is so beautiful definitely one of the best Christmas songs.

Every since I heard this performed with hand bells 🔔 and a choir at a Protestant church this became one of my favorite songs.
Makes me grateful and thankful for the goodness of our Lord
Bellissima, fantastica, meravigliosa musica.
Durante il periodo natalizio l' ascolto in continuazione.
Ad oggi l' avrò ascoltata un miliardo di volte.......
Buon Natale!

An epic masterpiece of Carol of the Bell's.
