3The Ukrainian Chorus Dumka of New York
The Ukrainian Chorus Dumka of New York alongside conductor Vasyl Hrechynsky and Haley & Michaels have teamed up to pay tribute to the 100 year anniversary of “Carol of the Bells,” which was based on the Ukrainian song, “Shchedryk.” The musical forces have released a stunning tribute today, Friday, December 16, that honors two different traditions.
Written in 1916 by composer Mykola Leontovych, “Shchedryk,” was traditionally performed by caroling boys in Ukraine who would go from house to house in their towns, singing and wishing their neighbors a Happy New Year, as the lyrics are based on a pre-Christian folk song. However in 1922, the song first made its way onto American soil at Carnegie Hall by the Ukrainian National Choir conducted by Alexander Koshetz. A little over a decade later, Peter Wilhousky wrote new lyrics to the composition and thus “Carol of the Bells,” was born. Since then, the song has become an integral part of the repertoire of choirs, orchestras, and popular singers alike who have helped to make this song a holiday classic.
