Many people recognize this composition

For example it's known as a #Christmas carol, "Carol of the Bells" in the USA

But the original title is "#Shchedryk"

Composed in #Ukraine by Mykola Leontovych about 110 years ago

The original lyrics tell a story of a swallow flying into a household at #NewYears. To sing of the wealth that will come in Springtime

Here it is symbolically performed in the machine hall of a thermal power plant destroyed by Russian strikes

I have to admit that I thought it was part of the Harry Potter soundtrack.
The song is not very common in Germany, I think.

Thank you for highlighting.

@davidbeck

it's very well known in the USA

the lyrics were rewritten and it focused on being performed for bells by a guy named Wilhousky who was an arranger for the NBC Symphony Orchestra. NBC was and is a major television channel and beamed it everywhere. it became very popular in churches for Christmas
