"I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" is a Christmas carol based on the 1863 poem "Christmas Bells" by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.[1] The song tells of the narrator's despair, upon hearing Christmas bells, that "hate is strong and mocks the song of peace on earth, good will to men". The carol concludes with the bells carrying renewed hope for peace among men.

One of the best of the best is represented in this contemporary classic from the pen of Johnny Marks. Master arranger Lloyd Larson places this beloved setting of the Longfellow poem with Dona Nobis Pacem sung by children - the results are amazing. Perform this with a full orchestration, StudioTrax accomapniment CD, or with or without the handbell parts, which are included in the octavo. Whichever version you choose, this is the must-do holiday anthem of the season.

Longfellow wrote this text during the Civil War, while his son was fighting with the Union Army. The angst and agitation is clear in the text There is no peace on earth. Crotales or bells and bass drum are used for accompaniment but both can be covered in the piano if instruments are not available. This music is not difficult and is in the scope of choirs of a wide range of abilities.
Composer: Kile Smith

This fresh arrangement treats the traditional English carol like a contemporary theater piece. You may recognize the words and the tune, but you'll hear the meaning for the very first time, and Longfellow's text is still poignant today as we continue to strive for "peace on earth, goodwill to men."
Arranger: Ryan O'Connell | Composer: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's inspiring poetry still rings true today with this contemporary classic heard each Christmas in recordings by Bing Crosby, Sarah McLachlan and more. This setting features a solo voice above expressive a cappella choral textures building to a sonorous homophonic statement of the final verse and fading to a reflective and quiet conclusion.
