Shchedryk

This Ukrainian folk tune is well known as Carol of the Bells, but this setting employs new lyrics that reflect its true heritage as a New Year's song. This text combines the narrative of the swallow as a harbinger of spring with other animals present at the Nativity. With flexible accompaniment options (organ, piano, flute, violin, guitar), it offers a fresh perspective on a familiar favorite. It is equally suitable for Christmas concerts or services.
