"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.

Opening with a sweetly lilting "I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day" which captures the traditional spirit with only a touch of Rockapellan embellishment we proceed to a Thatcherized (clever light vocal percussion), upbeat, Scott Leonard song which has one wondering just which year it became a big hit. It did, didn't it? It must have, it just sounds so familiar. We immediately are segued into an almost vaudevillian "Glow Worm/It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" medley. Through beautiful tradition and several of Scott Leonard's original compositions our heart strings are plucked to a fare-the-well. At the end of this grand recording we have Scott's "Hold Out for Christmas" which has only been released prior to this CD on one of the Rockapella Japanese imports. Then are sent off with our harmony hats in hand by Barry Carl's unbelievable bass and Jeff Thatchers pyrotechnics on "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch." This seasonal recording will add a sparkle of joy to your holiday.

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
Uses: Christmas Scripture: Psalm 121; Luke 2:14; Philippians 4:4-9 Share the story behind the song! A stirring dramatic narrative of this carol's origin has been seamlessly intertwined with the music, causing the underlying message of God's peace that passes understanding to shine through in this creative setting. Score and parts (hn, vn 1-2, va, vc) available as a digital download.
