Showing the Discogs bio

Ukrainian composer, choral conductor, and teacher (born December 13 [O.S. December 1], 1877 in Monastyrok, Russian Empire [now Vinnytsia Oblast, Ukraine] – died January 23, 1921 in Markivka, Ukrainian Soviet Republic [later Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine].
Mykola Dmytrovych Leontovych (Ukrainian: Микола Дмитрович Леонтович) composed more than 150 pieces, many of them for a cappella chorus, both liturgical songs or songs inspired by Ukrainian folk songs.
Leontovych's best-known work is his arrangement of "Щедрик" (Shchedryk, 1916), a traditional Ukrainian shchedrivka or New Year celebration song. The song was first recorded around September 1922 in New York City by the Ukrainian Republic Capella and released in 1923 on Brunswick 15034 (opens in a new tab). The song became a popular Christmas carol in the English-speaking world under the title "Carol of the Bells" with new English lyrics by Ukrainian-American composer Peter Wilhousky (1936).
