Carol Of The Bells - Acapella Full Choir Carol

[VaniaArthur]

The song is beautiful, and yet the graphics scared me greatly, very intense..

[DuchessAliana]

Oh, look. A pointless YouTube argument.

[pkiller91]

the song to me doesn't bring happiness to the brain aha, has a eerie feeling

[whitneyjp]

myyyyy faaavoorriiitees sonnngg eevvaarrrrr

[focus30073]

Carol of the Bells is an English rendering of Щедрик (Schedryk) written by Mykola Leontovych in 1916. It was first performed with the choir of the Kyiv University which brought him great success from the public in Kyiv.  Mykola Leontovych (born December 13, 1877; died January 23, 1921) was a Ukrainian composer, choral conductor, and teacher of international renown.

[JumpingIntoRivers]

[Shedaisies1]

this song is amazing... My 8th grade choir sings it just about this tempo for the holiday program, and I'm a soprano, so I get to sing too! yay!

[GuroNorway]

A little bit to fast, but very good. I like that the tenors are loud, because it isn't good when we cant hear them.

[fredotron]

tenors are a little loud in this arrangement

[MyNewPerspective1]

Boobs!

[onehundredeleven111]

Merry Chrismahanaquanzikadon!

[guvstab]

this one is too fast . . .

[xoxspicygurlxox]

@guvstab this is the original way it should be sung but not all choirs sing this fast

[yiemona]

I supose you got me there, but although I am not Christian at all. This is and always will be my favorite Xmas song  Happy New Year to you 

[BimborgBroadcast]

Happy new year to You too!

[yiemona]

Interesting visuals for the song, way to make me feel like I'm doing something wrong, what happened to happy visuals with a beautiful dong

[BimborgBroadcast]

Well it is interesting, because It is Christianity, both the words in the Carol and the ancient paintings from the old Danish church, that are shown in the video.

[dlkirtley06]

@yiemona American history has created a commercial holiday and have complete disregard and disrespect for the true beginnings of this paegan 'holiday'. Those pictures are from Danish culture. Danish culture has deep roots. I think they would have a deeper understanding of this dates' historical value because of said culture. They obviously paint a pretty detailed portrait of it here!

[DragonFox84]

@dlkirtley06 oh dont go blaming america for everything that goes wrong. its been happening way before all over. if you want to blame someone for messing up "pagan" holidays talk to the catholic church lol they changed many of them. modern times just made it worse by everyone. it just sucks how greed all over the world messes up traditions and true spirt of things. i hate most holidays, esp since they changed so much to not offend anyone that doesnt practice it lol..

[dlkirtley06]

@DragonFox84 You're right, it's not just America, and its not just one religion. I think if people are looking for a reason to spread goodwill society is screwed already. haha!

[4Topwood]

@yiemona

Happy visuals with a beautiful dong? Now that would really make me feel like I was doing something wrong!

[cargoshorts66]

A woman's naked breasts?? A man boiling something in a cauldron?? Soldiers stabbing little human figures in the chest and stomach?? What kind of wacky left-wing revisionist selected imagery like this for "Carol Of The Bells?"

[satinluva]

What, you mean the story of the nativity to compliment a carol? Hmm sounds just right to me.

[reykingx]

powerful!!! i like this one. this one has deeper, lower sounding voices on it - gives it more life. you got the sweet-sounding high-note-hitting girls and the louder, deeper sounding guys as well. merry x-mas!

[chitobass]

well I think this a good one. the best version...

[notnormalgirl713]

Listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's version...Amazing.

[Uwantsummadiz]

wtf why so fast!! ahhhhhhhh can I just find a good one of carol of the bells!! for goodness sakes!!

[loza1108]

@Uwantsummadiz celtic woman carol of the bells is a great one for me ...... try that one

[zusethe5th]

@dimstar4now and how do you know this?

[angelsbeatlesfan]

0:05 WTF!

[jeffray1944]

Ukrainian carols are true to do with Christmas

[TigerTAnderson]

This is the best christmas song ever. Dare I say that this song goes down as one of the greatest in history. I isong rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drifterseries]

i agree

[Ryena]

no this song is so much better. there are just some creepy looking pictures.

[pennteller31]

my most favorite version. Thanks!

[XXXGreenSamurai]

just isn't Christmas until you hear this song

[ngdubz]

@XXXGreenSamurai Lies. Its still Christmas without this song. I love Jesus's alleged birthday because my family members feel compelled to buy me gifts. Ironic that his birthday has basically turned into exactly the thing he preached against.

[tobirocks443]

@ngdubz why do you hate christmas, mr.Grinch

[tyktykboom]

best christmas song ever

[musiclover865]

Check out "Mister Hampton-Carol of the Bells Beat".

[2alone2bhappy]

amazing...

[Godsgalkz]

I LOVE this song! This is a really good version too! We are singing it in my choir, and it's by far my favorite song! I normally don't like acapella that much for some reason, but this one is really good.

[Ghlan]

I dont know why I love this song so much. It almost has a dark and forboding sound to it

[GlorieltheGlorious]

@Ghlan I agree completely. I think it has a certain quality to it that seems a bit hedonistic in a way, but at the same time it is so beautiful and festive.

[aleksandradove]

this is a great song but the pictures have nothing to do with bells....

[Saltheigh]

Chruch music and church art! That's the link. Wonder how the acoustics would be in that small-looking place. Would the paintings make the carol even more ominous?

[TheSquidification]

we're doing this for choir... YAY!!

[musiclover865]

your right- Arthur Fiedler was the best! check out the beat titled,"carol of the bells beat" on youtube. it is produced to this version.

[benoitownage]

oh my god i think this is the first time i heard the correct tempo........wow

[emiliehayden]

amazing. it's been said so many times before me, but this is simply the best version on youtube.

[kosai19]

Best version i've found so far. Thanks for posting, but who sang this?

[Princess1Disney]

omg i love the voices!!! does somebody knows about a place where i can listen to numerous choirs??? please

[resi1224]

This is the most amazing recording I've ever heard in my life. and i've listened to many

[MountainKhan]

This performans is the best. I did not heard a better one at Youtube

[Zarkania7]

False contemporary christ or THE real Christ? Tell me please!

[Zarkania7]

***** Favorite!

[PyramidScheme07]

Beautiful and harmonious! Love that it is being sung at the CORRECT and ORIGINAL tempo! Thank you to whomever taught this choir the CORRECT templo!

[cisforcookie43]

it always makes me sad when this song is slowed down from the original tempo, so this one put a smile on my face. Have to say, though i loved singing the soprano part, my fav was always the last "dong" sung by the men :)

[nanimals]

i got to sing this. i was an alto. but our part was pretty fun. =]

[xtuva]

too fast !

[marchingbandgeekguy]

No, this is the actual tempo it's supposed to be performed at.

[marchingbandgeekguy]

Do you know what choir sung this?

It's so powerful...

[intelguy2009]

i think it mighthavebeen the same choir who sang for the boston pops with arthur fiedler. its on their cd.

[aquagirlrules]

Oh how I love this song. I get to sing it in choir! I got the really fast part Im a soprano

[hOpEcHiLd7]

the choir sound brilliant but i don't get the pictures...

what do they have to do with christmas?

[BimborgBroadcast]

The pictures are from an old Church. Some of them shows the birth of Jesus.

[MountainKhan]

Can you tell me which choir is this?

[teknought]

@BimborgBroadcast Christmas is the birth of Jesus? I thought it's a celebration of Coca Cola trucks driving my town.

[dlkirtley06]

@teknought HAHAHA! May as well be since they own a greater portions of the world's drinking supply AND considering Christ wasn't born during the 'christmas' season! As much as any 'christian' would like to hold onto the hope that there is a REASON for this one day of the year is assinine. Its just another day, another dollar for the corporate white collars. 97% are still overworked and oppressed. 3% are still and will always be pigs (thanks for the awesome classification Pink Floyd).

[MrsDardenxoxo]

@hOpEcHiLd7 well the whole meaning of Christ-mas is to celebrate the birth of the Christ.aka Jesus

[august6teen]

this is actually a very good version

[xoxspicygurlxox]

this is how the poriginal song is sung and yeah its very good the other versians in choirs sometimes go slower than this speed and its amazing and very beautiful peice of great music

[august6teen]

yea i wish the recording was better and louder :(

[BeatBuddy]

Beautiful art. The color scheme is very harmonious.

[zerona1]

I love this song! My chorus used to sing this arrangement and it is amazing!

[harebodha]

De siger det er fandens fødselsdag, jeg siger det er fandens årstid.......vi decemberharer må spise noget go' mad sammen!

[harebodha]

Hej Bimleborg, har vi her en skabskatolik e.l.?

[brumlebim]

Skabs ..ej det tror jeg nu ikke, men det må vi vende når vi ses, du bor jo kun et harehop fra Elmebodha, så jeg skal jo også lykønske, selvom jeg på pinlig vis ikke kan huske hvadfor en dag det er du fylder år, men blot at skytten har indledt sin æra
