The Ukrainian Bell Carol is part of a large choral work entitled Shchedryk by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Dmytrovich Leontovych (1877-1921). It was first performed by students of Kiev University in December 1916. The tune is an adaptation of an old ‘shchedrivka’, a song traditionally sung on Ukrainian New Year’s Eve (January 13th) which hopes for good fortune in the year to come. In Shchedryk, Leontovych added his own the lyrics which concern the legend claiming that when Jesus was born, all the bells on earth started ringing in his honour.The tune has since been the inspiration of at least four different Christmas carols, but Philip Sparke has sourced the originalUkrainian melody to create this stirring arrangement. De Ukrainian Bell Carol is onderdeel van het grote koorwerk Shchedryk van de Oekra ense componist Mykola Dmytrovich Leontovych (1877-1921). De melodie is gebaseerd op een ‘shchedrivka’, een lied dat van oudsher werdgezongen op de Oekra ense oudejaarsavond (13 januari). In Shchedryk voegde Leontovych de tekst toe over de legende die vertelt dat bij de geboorte van Jezus alle klokken op aarde begonnen te luiden. Sindsdien is deze melodiede inspiratiebron geweest voor ten minste vier verschillende Christmas carols, waarvan Carol of the Bells de beroemdste is. Voor dit meeslepende arrangement heeft Philip Sparke echter de oorspronkelijke Oekra ense melodiegebruikt.Das Ukrainian Bell Carol ist Teil eines großen Chorwerkes namens Shchedryk vom ukrainischen Komponisten Mykola Dmytrovich Leontovych. Leontovych ergänzte ein traditionelles ukrainisches Neujahrslied um eine alte Legende, die besagt, dass zu Ehren von Jesu Geburt alle Glocken läuteten. Die Melodie diente inzwischen als Grundlage für mindestens vier verschiedene Weihnachtslieder. Philip Sparke griff für seine bewegende Bearbeitung jedoch auf die originale ukrainische Melodie zurück.Ukrainian Bell Carol constitue une des parties de l’œuvre chorale Shchedryk du compositeur ukrainien Mykola Dmytrovich Leontovich (1877-1921). La mélodie s’inspire d’un vieux chant traditionnel ukrainien (shchedrivka) chanté le Jour de l’An (célébré le 13 janvier, conformément au calendrier julien) dans l’espoir que l’année venir se présente sous de bons hospices. l’écriture de Shchedryk, Mykola Leontovich a choisi de changer les paroles. Il opte pour la légende selon laquelle, toutes les cloches des églises se sont mises carillonner joyeusement pour annoncer la naissance de Jésus. La mélodie du chant a inspiré au moins quatre noëlsdifférents. Carol of the Bells en est la version la plus célèbre. Elle a été adaptée en 1936 (texte et mélodie) par Peter J. Wilhousky (1902-1978) d’après la version originale de Mykola Leontovich. Philip Sparke s’est basé sur la mélodie du chant traditionnel ukrainien pour réaliser cet arrangement brillant et pétillant. Ukrainian Bell Carol costituisce una delle parti dell’opera corale Shchedryk del compositore ucraino Mykola Dmytrovich Leontovich (1877-1921). Il testo narra una leggenda secondo la quale le campane delle chiese si sono messe a suonare per annunciare la nascita di Gesù. La melodia di Leontovich ha ispirato almeno quattro canti natalizi diversi. Carol of the Bells di Peter J.Wilhousky è la versione più celebre. Philip Sparke ha scelto di ispirarsi alla melodia originale del canto tradizionale ucraino (shchedrivka) per realizzare questo brillante arrangiamento.

C. P. E. Bach's nine-movement Magnificat (1749), the first great vocal work from his Berlin years, is among the most magnificent sounding, in which the solo vocal parts are also among the most ambitious settings of the Hymn to the Virgin Mary (Luke 1). The work fulfills all the criteria required for a larger sacred composition: grandeur, dignity, polyphonic and concertante choral movements, sensitive (empfindsam) and expressive arias, a long concluding double fugue. This richly scored Magnificat (with 3 trumpets and timp. ad. lib.), which is almost one hour in duration, would be well suited, for example, as the central work on every Christmas or pre-Christmas concert programme. Score available separately - see item CA.3321500.
