about

Composed by Ukrainian composer, Mykola Leontovych in 1919 with English lyrics written by Peter J. Wilhousky in the 1920s, Carol of the Bells is a much performed and beloved Christmas song (Source: Wikipedia).

This unique jazz version features an arrangement by Jiri Nedoma with Meghan Bay on vocals that fuses jazz and Gregorian chant type vocals together with Bach fugue inspired piano runs.

lyrics

Carol of the Bells
(Lyrics by Peter J. Wilhousky)

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.

One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere
Filling the air.

Oh how they pound,
Raising the sound,
O'er hill and dale,
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.
