This famous carol is originally an Ukrainian folksong. It was sung on the first day of the year, which used to be the first of May. The melody in Part A (0:00 - 1:37) and Part C (2:23 - 3:49) is traditional Ukrainian. It is very old and probably pre-Christian. This old song is called "Shchedryk". The original, pre-Christian version may have sound like this: • The Ukrainians - 'Last...
In 1916 the Ukrainian teacher and composer Mykola Leontovych arranged this folksong into a version for mixed Choir (SATB). • Shchedryk (Carol of th...
Ariana Le Fay (singer and composer of DRAGONTOR) rearranged it for female choir (SSAA). The harmonisation is the same as in the version of Leontovych.
The music in Part B (1:38 - 2:22) is composed by Ariana Le Fay.
The Metal part of the whole song (Rhythm-Guitar, Drums) is composed by Tommy Wozniak (Guitarist and composer of DRAGONTOR).
All the scenes with the three scaters were filmed by COTTONBRO STUDIO. All the other scenes were filmed by many different artists.
The lyrics of the DRAGONTOR version are on German and they are written by Ariana Le Fay based on the original Ukrainian lyrics. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shchedr...)
Lyrics:
Mystischer Drang, Zaubergesang,
trillernder Klang, schwingt meilenlang.
Neblig und kalt - Worte so alt!
Schwalbengestalt fliegt aus dem Wald.
Durch Eis und Schnee flattert die Fee.
Sanft blickt ein Reh über den See.
Schnell wie der Wind fliegt sie geschwind
runter zur Au, durch Wiesentau.
Schwalbengesang breitet sich dann
allüberall in Berg und Tal.
Am Menschendorf ist sie angekommen,
wo sie willkommen, fliegt sie ins Haus.
Zwischtert kräftig und aus voller Kehle,
Zwischert lieblich und mit ganzer Seele.
Flattert umher, kreuz und quer.
Weckt groß und klein: „Da ist der May'n!
Hört liebe Leut! Hört ungescheut!
Neujahr ist heut', welch eine Freud'!
Hört, denn mein Mund bringt frohe Kund':
Lämmchen ich fund stark und gesund,
hoch an der Zahl, drüben im Stall!
Allüberall frohes Geschall!
Hört, was ich sag: An diesem Tag
kehr'n hier zurück Wohlstand und Glück.
Segen ich bring, den ich besing'!
Ich hab geseh'n, was wird gescheh'n:
Reichliche Ernte, goldene Garben
werdet ihr haben im neuen Jahr!
Kommt, kommt aus der Stube raus!
Kommt, kommt auf das Feld hinaus!
Glockengeläut alle erfreut:
Herdenklang klingt meilenlang!“
Translation:
Mystical power, magical singing,
trilling sound, sound for miles.
Misty and cold. Words, so old.
In the form of a swallow, coming out of the forest,
through ice and snow, a fairy is flying.
Softly a deer is looking over the see.
Quickly like the wind, it is flying swiftly
down to the meadow, through the dew of the laws.
The swallow song spreads then,
everywhere, in the mountains and the valleys!
It arrived the human-village,
where it is welcome, it flies into the house.
It twitters loudly and with a powerfull throat,
It twitters lovely and with all its soul,
wobbling around, here and there,
wakes everyone up: "May has come!
Listen dear people, listen without timidity,
It's New Year's Day, such a joy!
Listen, because I bring good news.
I found lambkins, strong and healthy,
high in number, over there in the barn!
Everywhere, a happy sound!
Listen what I'm saying: Today
prosperity and happiness return here!
I bring blessings to you and sing about it.
I've seen what's going to happen.
A plenty harvest and golden sheafs
you will have in the new year.
Come, come out of the house!
Come, come out into the field!
The ringing of bells delights everyone,
The ringing of the herd sounds for miles!" - เพลง
This imagery reminds me of Narnia!
Winter can honestly be an amazingly beautiful time of year if the conditions are right.
Robert Howard once wrote a short story about Conan vainly pursuing the daughter of Ymir through the snows :) "The Frost-Giant's Daughter", a beautiful winter tale.
Wow, stunning, breathtaking, glorious, beautiful and magnificent! Gorgeous ladies, costumes, scenery and singing, one of my all time favourite carols. Thank you ❤️🏴
Thanks so much! 😊
I love it so much better than the English version. Can't imagine thinking a Christmas song about Christmas songs was a better direction for the lyrics. The English sure loved making beautiful songs into Christmas music though. I feel the original message in my soul, it's powerful and gorgeous.
Чудове музичне оформлення мені дуже сподобалось
Thanks! 😊
Good to see that the German translation keeps the spirit of the original.
Just love listening to this tune and cannot tire of the beautiful feelings it brings inside my being💕☀️
Thanks so much! 😊
listen to Ukrainian music and songs, many discoveries await you there.
Awesome. Glad I happened on this
Great haunting song and video. I love the ice skating as it's far more graceful than ballet.
Наш український "Щедрик", дуже цікава інтерпретація.
About time to find a cosy place for the winter setting in.

@@sevenhillsproductions wow, lovely! thank you so much!
@@sevenhillsproductions This song is a part of my Slavic Heritage
Here's the Original version
th-cam.com/video/GqeJ38DThVc/w-d-xo.html

Noël magnifique
I like this. Thank you
Wooow !!!! Such great song ❤🖤❤🖤
I thought the whole time they sang in English, until I saw the lyrics. Then I recognized my native language 😅 Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland und allen ein Frohes Fest 😁🥰
Frohe Weihnachten, Jesus ist gekommen!
I thought was English, because I have only ever heard it in English. Amazing how a song can travel so far and be translated, and then listeners not even knowing its origin.
So your brain just auto translated? That's actually kind of awesome.
Dachte ich auch aber hab nix verstanden 😂
That's ok, I thought they were singing in English AND it's my only language. ;)
Although I'm not sure why they're singing in German if it's a Ukrainian song...
Egal! Musik kennt keine Grenzen.Als der Song Geschrieben und Komponiert wurde - war an solche Trennungen noch gar nicht zu denken.
Musik berührt alle Menschen, egal wo und wann, vereint sie friedlich.
Auch dieser Song sollte und darf es tun.
Phantastisch ! Danke für dieses großartige Meisterwerk 🙏
Wow!, Just Wow! love all of it.
Absolutely fantastic! I love it! Thank you so much for posting this!
wow everything about this was incredibly beautiful ❤ thanks for the upload
That's just amazing, iron Leontovych, love it.
Absolutely gorgeous! I love the costumes as well 💕💕
Thanks! :)
Oh, I _love_ _Carol of the Bells._ I find I'm also developing an appreciation for artistic _contrast._ The mountain landscape, blanketed with snow to make it white, and there's a lady skating in front of it wearing red. _Incredible_ contrast.
Thanks so much! 😊
Lovely skating and of course young ladies with amazing grace. The sounds of worship put to music and dance. God bless and Merry Christmas.
