Carol of the Bells

[BlackandWhite947]

LOVE THIS

[b112895]

all answers equal, 'oh sorry its improvised, no sheets'

WTSniff

how do you improvise an already made piece?

[Ashly178]

lovely lovely playing,keep up the good work

[Hydra136]

I wish I had this sort of talent (or persistence to gain this sort of talent)

Such a lovely piece of work! Never Heard anything quite like it. I'm used to hearing stuff along the tune of "the bed intruder song" and this is a completely refreshing change!

[willwei98]

Ding fries are done ♫ :))) LOVELY

This makes me wonder so much about life and other sad stuff (amazing)

[123rasen]

this song makes me wanna cry some times so good ive had a hard life so this makes me feel awesome!

[TheAlessaWhite]

l really love this! This's so so beautiful!

[sorobanshadow]

is it a variation? cuz its a vry good one! :)

[lukenukem1976]

Spellbinding and yet 9 poor souls "dislike". Very saddened.

[KaraSleek]

So beautiful ;.; If you wrote it as sheet music and recorded it, people would definitely buy!

[pulkritudify]

whoa...i really like the beginning

[xxSTARRSXX]

i love this and i just found out that if u pause it at 1:07 u can see the piano in old style!!

beautiful !!!

[colbiegirl]

Give a, Give a, Give a Garmin, Give a, Give a, Give a, Garmin :)

[klbearsfan125]

Very well done. As a musician, my only major comment would be that it is almost too cluttered. The keyword there though is 'almost'. The parts where it started to sound cluttered were short, far apart from each other, and were not overdone, all of which makes them work quite well in this arrangement.

[knightripper666]

the best version ever...

[ReCentXIII]

Once again, Amazingly beautiful!

[froggyfreak123]

PLEASE PLEASEPL EASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE WRITE THE MUSIC DOWN AND GIVE IT!

[109Thunder]

Why give this moron who copied it any credit? Hes just a fucktard that need attn. TSO rocks!

[eggabeg]

@109Thunder Do you think TSO are the original creators of Carol of the Bells?

[12stel]

@109Thunder you do realize this music was written in 1916, way before TSO copied and renamed iit something else.

[LogicStudioMadness]

Very nice touch. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

[TheCheesecurl]

love it this truly is my favorite Christmas song!

[4EverMusicAddict]

wow....this is fantastic!!!

[TheJoyful236]

Im not a big fan of just this kind of music, but I really LOVE this one!! Good Job :D

[jthameschoir]

Carol of the bells is the only christmas song thats bearable to listen to. The others have no feeling to them. This is the only christmas song i like.

[Lunaladee]

[shogun1x]

[NexusARC]

[codownni]

Our thoughts are our future-Albert Einstein

[piano1017]

I'm so surprised that I actually like this.

Usually all the songs that are improvised aren't very good... but this was so beautiful (:

[sarah4276]

This is beautiful. You have an incredible talent.

[Whackoffjackoff]

every note portrays emotion,

i love it.

[4ree2watch]

omg T^T i luv this song. its like my only favorite christmas song

[Blogengezer]

According to the information 'Before Christianity' .... would make it nearly 2,000 years old? Wow that's amazing...... I can't ever recall hearing music from that period of time. Pretty popular playlist? WMG Royalties must surely be run out by now :>) Daflikkers

[Umbershield]

Not necessarily; it is an old, old song no doubt, but the introduction of Christianity to Ukraine would have been closer to the Dark Ages or Later - so over 1,200 years old, no doubt. Still amazing. :D

[DoomDuckGod]

This is absolute win.

[akeelah94]

lol i had to sing that song im my chorus. Very beautiful

[kairistwin]

This is my all time favourite Christmas carol, it's so completely different from 'Jingle Bells', etc.

Beautifully played, as always!

;)

[valkokankas]

ding fries are dong

[skaylak1995]

hah! love that show. I was singing it in chorus today because we were singing carol of the bells. :P

[cycogrl123]

Wow...I learned this song on piano...but it does not compare to this!!! It's absolutely beautiful magnificent! Natural talent

[ixlovexvampyres]

i literally got chills and tears. this is amazing, can you say subscribing?

[TamerahSkies]

SUBSCRIBING! (:

[ChocoMoccaCocoNugga]

Favourite christmas song :3... i HAVE to learn this :P

[byrnie13]

this used to be my favorite christmas song, but then Family Guy ruined it, would you like and apple pie wit dat? I CAN'T APPRECIATE IT WITHOUT DING FRIES ARE DONE STUCK IN MAH HEAD!!!! GAAH!

[soccerfreak67890]

Actually, the thing on Family Guy was making fun of a different video that was done to the tune of the song, so you can blame whoever did that video for "ruining" it

[SheepFreak2]

beautiful!

reminds me of kingdom hearts... @0:46 and @1:35 ;D

[ZerotheShadowking]

My FAVORITE XMAS SONG!

[iheartskaters7]

same!

[DickerPulli]

einfach grandios.

[snapshot20svideos]

Amazing talent!!!!

[shanellexoxo]

yea , i want the music sheet too.. i love this song!! please

[DarkAuras]

That was amazing, simply beautiful

[homesheba]

Christ is the real reason for Christmas. whats to apologise about????

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE-

and hopefully- you will someday realise jesus Christ is what its ALL about.

[ukimonkey9]

AHH BEAUTIFUL!!!.. plz tell me where u got ur music from?.. a link or where u bought the music sheet =] PLZ!

[GermanSeabass]

Sorry, it's all improvised. I think I originally had a look at our church's hymnal for reference...

[Sileithel]

Have you got the sheets already? I have them, but they're the "original" ones, let's say :P

I mean this is an arrangement by the performer, so sheet is the basic thing...

[Spartan1161]

now look up carol of the bells by august burn red

[GermanSeabass]

Nope, no hidden treasure maps or other easter eggs. The pop would be YouTube's fault- and thank you!

[77Beautifullybroken]

absolutly beautiful! a couple years ago I fell in love with this song and created my own version throughout the Christmas season...let's just say your's is a whole lot better! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[NekoTenshin]

Its a Beutiful song, christmas or not! im not a christian, but i love this song (no religion whatsoever)

[GermanSeabass]

While I have the greatest respect for other beliefs and religions, this is a Christmas song. Merry Christmas seems in order.

And maybe others are like me and enjoy being politically incorrect. :|

And happy holidays to you as well.

[liveitwcourage]

what's wrong with Merry Christmas? I still don't get why anyone would be offended by that.

[pianohands21]

christmas was not always happy, not in the begining until people used it as a to celebrate.

[77Beautifullybroken]

Christmas is the name of the holiday for many. And since it is to celebrate the birth of the Christ, I believe it is perfectly correct to say Merry Christmas! :)

[dakynne1]

Sorry tihs post offended people in several different ways than I thought were right. I myself am Christian, and support this faith strongly. I was just inferring that some people of different religions may not support this "Merry Christmas" sorry guys, I thought I was helping.

-Ðak

[Aresso25]

t's my favorite Christmas song too>))Merry Christmas from Ukraine)

[TheJacksterman]

Beautiful!

Very talented.

[cara6878]

[006bam]

This is a great music vid. I am learning how to play this song on guitar.....(Classical)

[schnuper450]

you should learn how to play it on electric

[006bam]

I am playing it on electric, just classical style.

[sunanotemari]

that was fantastic!

[lamazian]

wait this is done by you? you made this?

[GermanSeabass]

Yup, that's me playing.

[wow246812]

i think so also

[jesusizmexican]

Imagine this combined with danse macbre. It would sould so mesmirinzing like the works of a winter magic msuician.

[jesusizmexican]

Sorry about all the typos... =-( please rate or reply

[Casey5693]

I think it was pretty well done except for the glitch in the middle. He was pretty good. I can play it on the piano but I have to have the music. I'm not good at improvising.

[lokilover88]

I used to be able to play it on guitar, but I haven't tried in some time.

[cjmm429]

its my favorite christmas song i luv it so cool

[swannie0212]

Beautiful!

[PianoplayerX007]

Love it. I outta improve this myself, try and match you XD. Seriously, your great. Loving your vids! (Hmmm, about as much as mine. XD, not really)

[xsun2]

okay, good vid, but what the hell was that at 1:09. Like a picture poped up for exactly 1 frame. I could tell what it was.

[DarthSeptic]

no way! I see it too! took me a few tries though. lol

[castlesuzie]

I think it may have been a glitch, after a lot of stopping and starting it, i got it to pause at the change, and the screen is the same picture it just switches to a green color.

[out2of2this2world]

jesus relax its just a pic of a piano

[Liantjuh555]

Yes, it's a pic from a piano. I saw it.

Bud you have to be quick to see it

[crystalsubaru123]

Ah, one of my favorite songs of all time :3 maybe I should write my own improvisation as a theme for one of my characters ^^

[DarkMusician426]

i played this song for a christmas concert on my trumpet. but whoa!!! ur version is 5 times better than the version i played. =)

[rukia444]

i think your version in the best!!!

[StarberryPanicFan]

My my, so nice to see a brilliant pianist playing. It is technically and literally music to my ears.

Bravo! Keep up the excellent work.

[WingedShadowss]

Beautiful! i love the picture too. It adds to the... what word am i looking for... grandness? Well, whatever it is, i love it.

[Freakfromnature]

niceee. i can only play the simple version..thats kinda the same.

[robayn]

Sheesh I never saw this one.

I love Carol of the Bells as well, and it's really the only piece I ever bothered to memorize because it's so beautiful.

Your improvisations are fantastic!

[Aikimike999]

Good, simply does not cut it, this is phenominal. 5/5. I am flabbergasted, congratulations, you posses amazing talent.

[macspectrum]

"Carol of the Bells" (also known as the "Ukrainian Bell Carol") is a Christmas song originally composed by Mykola Dmytrovych Leontovych based on a Ukrainian New Years chant known as "Shchedryk" and adapted into English by Peter Wilhousky. The song is based on a traditional folk chant whose language was thought to have magical properties and to be of prehistoric origins and was associated with the coming New Year in Ukraine before the introduction of Christianity

[LonePianist3]

Amazing. 70 ratings so far and all 5 star ratings. =D 5/5 again. ^^

[CelineDionFan4568]

i like carol of the bells when it's played on the violin.

[GermanSeabass]

I wished I had learned violin when I was youngers...

[CelineDionFan4568]

[KeysOnTheCeiling]

We both concur that this is an amazing Christmas song.

My favorite as well!

[Oshi2Toshi]

I love your piano playing but heh I play the guitar I wish you where my piano teacher anyway AWESOME 100/100

[LonePianist3]

Carol of the Bells video response yay XD (stinks though..)

[LonePianist3]

Guys, the reason why it's gone now is because I used it as a video response for another video. Why'd I get 5 thumbs down for?

[red3pants]

neither my improvisations or arragements sound nearly as sweet as yours

Anyway...

Happy holidays sebastian :)

[kylelandry]

[GermanSeabass]

:D

(shouldn't you be asleep?)

[kylelandry]

Well, I slept over my best friends house (he lives 2 houses away) and he had work at 6 am, so I decided to go home and go back to sleep in my own bed. So I went on my comp for a little bit before I went to bed.

[kroveinatash]

huh?

[XSleighterX]

I think you are one of the greatest piano players ever on the internet, you sound more amazing than the most famous piano players of all time, just because of your passion for it. Great job!

[GermanSeabass]

Thanks! Passion is what drives me to keep playing.. so, yay!

[KasaraEm13]

Spectacular. I can't describe in words how beautiful this is. I've listen to it more times then I can count now. Amazing job.
