Shchedryk from Podillya

Shchedryk – the melody that recognized all over the world from the first notes. It glorifies Ukraine abroad. It is played in movies and broadcasts are made about it. Today we proudly announce that the famous song Carol of the Bells is an interpretation of our famous Shchedryk. However, until recently, few people knew that the Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovich wrote music on the words of the Kolyadka, which are the oldest examples of Ukrainian folklore, which, according to the artists, came from the Podillya. However, this melody has a special connection with Podillya for a number of other reasons.
