Jeevika Siddharth Yadav playing 'Carol of the Bells' (Music: M ykola Leontovych | Lyrics: Peter J. Wilhousky ) 🎄 Welcome, to ‘Christmas around the Piano’…a nostalgic musical journey!🎄 Day 15 - December 15, 2025 “Carol of the Bells” is based on the Ukrainian folk chant “ Shchedryk ” , arranged by composer Mykola Leontovych sometime before 1916. “Shchedryk” was not originally a Christmas song at all — it was a New Year’s carol sung to bring prosperity and good harvests.
