Carol of the Bells is based on a four-note ostinato from the Ukrainian folk chant Shchedryk. The conductor of the Ukrainian Republic Choir, Oleksander Koshyts, commissioned Mykola Leontovych, a music teacher, to create the song based on traditional Ukrainian folk chants in 1914. The resulting new work was for originally intended for a four-voice choir. Two other settings of the composition were also created by Leontovych: one for women's choir (unaccompanied) and another for children's choir with piano accompaniment. These are rarely performed or recorded. This beloved carol has been performed in many genres: classical, metal, jazz, country, rock, and pop.
