Beano’s Holiday Songs: The Calling – ‘Carol of the Bells’ [VIDEO]
'Carol of the Bells' is probably one of my favorite Christmas songs. I love the Trans-Siberian Orchestra version, versions done by hand bell choirs, and I even love the California Raisins version. But this rendition by 'The Calling' is definitely one of the best.
'Carol of the Bells' is a Christmas carol. It was composed by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych with an English text created later by American composer Peter J. Wilhousky, who wrote lyrics entirely unrelated to the original ones. The carol is based on a folk chant known in Ukrainian as "Shchedryk". Wilhousky's lyrics are copyrighted, although the musical composition and original arrangement is not. -Wikipedia
