In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity.

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.
It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.
The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

Goed stuk van Amaranth Feuth (UL): zet digitale geletterdheid niet tegenover klassieke geletterdheid. Kennis talen, literatuur en geschiedenis als tegengif tegen blikvernauwing, polarisatie en nepnieuws.
