By Mykola Leontovych. Composed by Mykola Leontovych. Arranged by Elizabeth Ushakova. This edition: pdf. 19th Century, Advent, Christmas, Folk, Patriotic. Score. 2 pages. YELYZAVETA USHAKOVA #1378835. Published by YELYZAVETA USHAKOVA (A0.1818764).
“Shchedryk” is not just a song. For Ukraine, it is a symbol, a voice of culture, and proof that the whole world hears us.
Shchedryk is a Ukrainian skhedrivka, the roots of which go back to ancient times, to pre-Christian times. It is a song about prosperity, hope, revival, and the light that comes to the house with the New Year.
Mykola Leontovych turned a folk melody into a masterpiece — an elegant choral arrangement that became the musical DNA of Ukraine.
It was “Shchedryk” that opened the world to Ukraine: • in 1919–1920, the Ukrainian Republican Chapel under the direction of Oleksandr Koshits performed it throughout Europe and the USA; • after a performance at Carnegie Hall, the melody conquered America; • later it became known as “Carol of the Bells”, but its roots are Ukrainian.
For Ukrainians, "Shchedryk" is: • a memory of our culture; • musical proof of our identity; • a song that has survived bans, wars and attempts at appropriation; • a quiet but very strong act of cultural resistance.
When "Shchedryk" sounds, the world hears Ukraine. Even when they tried to silence us.
