This is a fragment of a brilliant arrangement of David Hicken - ''The Bell Carol''. It's based on Ukrainian ''shchedrivka'' or New Year's carol, known in English as "The Little Swallow". It was arranged by composer and teacher Mykola Leontovych in 1916 and tells a story of a swallow flying into a household to sing of wealth that will come with the following spring. "Shchedryk" (from Щедрий вечiр, "Bountiful Evening") was originally sung on the night of January 13, New Year's Eve in the Julian Calendar (December 31 Old Style), which is Shchedry Vechir.
