This secular selection comes from the same Ukramian roots as the beloved Ring Christmas Bells, and has a similar compelling energy. It's fun to learn, fun to sing, and fun for the audience. It is also well suited to youthful singers, who will have a great time mastering the ching ching ching a ling ring aling chingalings. (Expect your choir to have plenty of laughs along the way.) The three part harmonies are close but inherently logical - less experienced singers will need some time to master them, but the compelling nature of the work will hold their interest. Despite decades of choral and instrumental work, I had never heard this song and neither had anyone in our choir. It's a wonderful addition to your Christmas repertoire. Check out another bright Christmas winner in Ruth Ellen Shram's arrangement of Good King Wenceslas (BriLee Music CF.BL672).

This was a fun and fairly simple song to learn as someone singing for six years. I enjoyed it a lot!
