I love cellos, something magical about this instrument, especially when one can play it like this. An instrument of the soul. No better way to express the meaning of Christmas. I wish the world would settle down and stop hating and killing and realize that we are all one in this vast universe. We are spinning out of control, it is like a tornado, the only way out is exploding. It is so much easier to love one another and get along, it takes so little effort. We are our own demise. If everyone would put positive thoughts out in the universe, we could turn this world around. Peace.
+Peggy Sinclair I find this a bit humorous as I just got home from a Judo session and we just had the lesson demonstrating how it's much more productive to go with the flow of momentum, rather than fight it. Also, regarding your statement about cellos, I was brought here by "O Come O Come Emmanuel - Cello and Piano Duet" which is really amazing.
Only musicians really passionate of their art and raw talent can appreciate music the way he does. The facial expressions, the smiles, the movement of the entire body with each stroke of the bow, that’s something you can’t fake. Okay brb gonna go tune my violin now.
Music is one of the beautiful things God has given us, but The most beautiful thing He has given us is salvation through his Son, Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Blessings to you through our Creator, Yahweh, His Son, Yeshua and our Helper, The Holy Spirit.
I know this is an older video, but from a production standpoint, it's cool to see that the earmuff are used as both a functional prop (cold ears are never fun) and a recording prop (they are hiding the earbuds in his ears for him to play along to the song for timing). It's small things like that that catch my attention. Fantastic song and wonderfully arranged!
This is perfection!! My goal in 2021 is to learn the cello; I play the flute, the tenor sax, and various percussion but I have never tried a string of any kind! I am in love with the cello and listening to/watching this just gets me more motivated!! Merry Christmas to you all!! xxoo
I wish you good luck. I briefly picked up the cello while in nursing school. 46 years later still regretting the nursing route. I'm much happier in the music realm. I played the clarinet family until Mt St Helens gave me a large dose of COPD. My arthritic hands still play the piano but not as well. I briefly took bagpipe lessons but COPD was also an issue. For some strange reason I can't grasp the string instrument family.
Esta belleza de Villancico de las Campanas (Carol of the bells) de origen Ucraniano, ejecutado por doce cellos, demuestra hasta donde se puede llegar con la música y la originalidad para cantarle a la Navidad con este hermoso instrumento , que tiene la frecuencia de vibración, muy parecida a la voz humana.
I have listened to this song every year since it came out to kick off the holiday season. Thank you for 10 years of awesome music. Here's to many more. Cheers!
@@VolodSem ??? If you posted a link to the song because you think I don't know the history of Carol of the Bells, thanks for the troll because I'm not going to click on a link in a RUclips video lol. I just like the rendition the Piano Guys made... 10 years ago. Hence my comment. I realize Carol of the Bells is not 10 years old ROFL. I have a background in music. But again, thanks for the troll. You made me laugh. xD Or if you're not a troll, take time to read comments in different tones with different pauses. Trying to interpret the rhythm of a sentence - syncopation if you will - and its exact meaning over the internet can be hard. I've definitely misinterpreted sentences before! It happens. So I try not to comment if I don't know what someone is trying to say exactly.
its no wonder I land on these guys every time I want to hear good, quality soul-stirring music. They've got it all. TY so much for sharing the great talent
Carol Of The Bells is the one Christmas song I have loved since a very small child. This hands down is my favorite version and has been since I heard and watched this video 10 years ago. And I love all the beautiful Utah scenes they used. I was born and raised in Utah so it has a very special place in my Heart
Thanks very much for your lovely comment over my page God bless you, sincerely you're so amazing when I saw your comment here on my page ❤️ where're you chatting from?
@@lindaireland2751 In fact it was traditionally sung on New Year's Eve from one house to another as a wish or programming good luck for a coming year even in the time when people celebrated new year in spring, and that is why it says about a little swallow that flew back and so on. You may listen to this ruclips.net/video/GqeJ38DThVc/видео.html
Very old Ukrainian folk carol "Schedrik" (also known in arranged version as "Carol of the Bells"). In original Ukrainian it is sung about a swallow flying home in spring, because a swallow is ancient pre-Christian Slavic symbol of Spring....Ancient Slavs celebrated New Year in spring (as the Year started with ressurection of Nature in Spring...)...
The cold weather must have been hard on those bow strings! There are a lot of shots with fraying bows, and just about all of them have Steven in earmuffs and/or you can see his breath in the cold air. Does he mind? Of course not! He's Steven Sharp Nelson, a passionate musician and (apparently) a very optimistic human being. Always smiling, or expressing his very visceral emotions, he is truly a joy to see and hear perform.
No doubt the music track was recorded in a studio rather than beside a stream, on an ice rink or along a mountain range. But the notes he played would certainly be hard on the bow strings.
Hark! how the bells Sweet silver bells All seem to say, "Throw cares away." Christmas is here Bringing good cheer To young and old Meek and the bold Ding, dong, ding, dong That is their song With joyful ring All caroling One seems to hear Words of good cheer From ev'rywhere Filling the air Oh how they pound, Raising the sound, O'er hill and dale, Telling their tale, Gaily they ring While people sing Songs of good cheer Christmas is here Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas On, on they send On without end Their joyful tone To ev'ry home God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen God rest ye merry, gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember, Christ, our Saviour Was born on Christmas day To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy
I've listened to this a hundred times or more and only this past time did I wonder, hmm, what are the words to the original pieces anyway? Then I saw this! Thanks!
I imagine it was probably a struggle to keep the cello in tune. My home is higher up in the mountains and during the winter my violin strings are often like "nope, we're out. Bye." and I'm like "but I love you, Whhhhy?" Haha. Random thoughts. This is my favorite variation of Carol of the Bells. =)
1:44 God Rest Ye Mery Gentlemen "God rest ye merry, gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember, Christ, our Saviour Was born on Christmas day To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy"
This was the first video of the piano guys that I watched almost 5 years ago, and ever since then, I got addicted to their channel and I have wanted to play the cello since.
This is my most fav Christmas song, so I listen to a lot of people who play it, I stared to cry, I'm a guy, "guys don't cry listening to music" I was moved, I subscribe and hit the bell, I am not watching the video I am listening, well F'n done, I don't have tears in my eyes over BS, well done.

This group is Amazing!! I just bdiscovered them this year & I am Absolutey Impressed!! There playing made my Christmas!! There rockelbels canon is hysterical!!
I did my first ever dance performance to this song. It was a tap dance to the God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman part as part of a Christmas Carol if I recall correctly. I was just 5 or 6. I now ballroom dance in high school and have won multiple state championships with my team. I attribute a large amount of my success to this song, because it was a fun song to dance to, and opened up the possibilites to me.

Been listening tov this since before you renamed to "the panio guys" I wokred at sony music and use to see your golden records on the wall all the time,. Made me so happy!!
Aww thanks for your response i really want to appreciate you for your support so far up my page, your comment is very grateful here beautiful lady where're you chatting from?
its almost halloween but im listning to christmas music. not because i dont like halloween, just because the pianoguys havent made a this is halloween cover yet
Even though Christmas looks bleak right now, these guys make me remember the better times and the beautiful music and the great love I have for Christmas.
Christmas is more than simple appearance, it is a state of mind, a spiritual place, just immerse yourself into it and be yourself light to others. Have a merry Christmas.
They sound at the beginning as if they are starting Two Step by the Dave Matthews Band. What a lovely version and the cellists are doing this in the freezing cold.
I don't think I could have said that any better. And the great part about music is that it can be shared with it's free and you are free to pick and choose what you want to hear. 🎵🎶🎵🎵♥️♥️♥️♥️
Oh my, I am overwhelmed with joy as I listen. Astounding, Amazing, Awesome and Absolutely Incredible. Thank you for sharing your God given talent honed by years of practice! Blessed be!
Kyle Jacobson What???????? Read the history of this song, this is the Ukrainian Christmass song which has been presented in New York in 1921 by Ukrainian emigrant Leontovich. My forefathers have been singing it years.
Рома Алєксєєв That's correct. The chant that the song was based on was also originally used in pagan celebrations to ring in the beginning of spring, before Christianity claimed it as their own.
This is absolutely amazing! The combination of the sound of the cellos with each other is hands down riveting and is extremely beautiful. Happy Holidays!
Caitlynn Collise There's actually a lot more going on in the brain when listening to classical music as well. its really giving your brain quite the workout.
"Carol of the Bells" / "Shchedryk" - Ukrainian pre-christian carol. "The chant based on an ostinato four-note pattern within the range of a minor third is thought to be of prehistoric origins and was associated with the coming New Year which in Ukraine before the introduction of Christianity was originally celebrated in April." (c) And it's confirmed by the text itself - "...a little swallow flew and started to twitter", "Come out o Master, look at the sheep pen, there the ewes are nestling and the lambkin have been born". Leontovych actually didn't create it, he arranged it in 1916. )

Wow, I grew up in a very musical family and I never knew that Carol of the Bells was from a Ukrainian Christmas Carol. This is great! Thank you!
This is Ukrainian Christmas song "Shchedryk". Author of music M. Leontowych
it had nothing to do with Christmas.

Sweet silver bells
All seem to say,
"Throw cares away."
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From ev'rywhere
Filling the air
Oh how they pound,
Raising the sound,
O'er hill and dale,
Telling their tale,
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To ev'ry home
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
God rest ye merry, gentlemen

Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

@@moilar7985 Listen to the trans Siberian orchestrael version. You won't be disappointed.
pretty sure, like all music videos, the sound recording is probably done in a studio. cell also maybe a cheap replacement

Mavka Lisova , where exactly did you get this information? Please, provide a legit link to prove your side of argument, just like I did.

And why would you use that link, you would know if it was the REAL Wikipedia... unless are you trying to extract our passwords through that link. You better change the link to the REAL Wikipedia.
haha.. it is Ukrainian all right. old and pagan. but Leontovych made it perfect.. well-known fact, so fucking google it if you like.

Been listening tov this since before you renamed to "the panio guys" I wokred at sony music and use to see your golden records on the wall all the time,. Made me so happy!!
These guys have taught me to appreciate the cellos versatility a lot more.
How does his cello's strings not get all screwed up by the cold termperature? Same thing with the bow.
Benjamin Natividad he recorded it beforehand
Probably a greenscreen
they film on location, just record it before And overlay the sound over the video.
That's probably not his real cello. It looks very cheap, and he wouldn't sacrifice his own for a music video (I wouldn't).
Frida Marklund in fact they use very good and expensive Celli.
If I could play any instrument it would be the beautiful cello. My heart swells when I listen to this. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent.

They sound at the beginning as if they are starting Two Step by the Dave Matthews Band. What a lovely version and the cellists are doing this in the freezing cold.
Music is one of humans most prized possessions
I LOVE music
I don't think I could have said that any better. And the great part about music is that it can be shared with it's free and you are free to pick and choose what you want to hear. 🎵🎶🎵🎵♥️♥️♥️♥️
Jesus loves you so much, know this, you are important to God 💕💜
Oh my, I am overwhelmed with joy as I listen. Astounding, Amazing, Awesome and Absolutely Incredible. Thank you for sharing your God given talent honed by years of practice! Blessed be!
Great performance of the great Ukrainian Christmass song!
thank you!
This actually isn't Ukrainian
Kyle Jacobson What????????
Read the history of this song, this is the Ukrainian Christmass song which has been presented in New York in 1921 by Ukrainian emigrant Leontovich. My forefathers have been singing it years.
Kyle Jacobson It actually is, it's based on the Ukranian folk song "Shcedryk". Get your facts straight before commenting.

that's great, nice to know about it !! thanks
I watch and listen to this every year when it's nearing December.
Strings and bow hairs are two VERY different things. Let us be very clear on this.
Thank you.
yes
i like it
+Darcy Erinaceinae You are right. strings are thin lines of cotton. Bow strings are horse hairs. So they are two different things.
+Slippery squid same thing with violin
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
I was impressed how to operate this kind of music instrument, he's very skillful
I love how this starts off sounding like it could be a theme song for Mission Impossible.
Andrew Curley Same. I actually thought I clicked the wrong video at first.

This Ukrainian folk song
Рома Алєксєєв
That's correct. The chant that the song was based on was also originally used in pagan celebrations to ring in the beginning of spring, before Christianity claimed it as their own.
Exactly!!
This is absolutely amazing! The combination of the sound of the cellos with each other is hands down riveting and is extremely beautiful. Happy Holidays!
Amazing, modern music allows you to be in 12 places at once (and play 12 parts!) Love this!! Thank you again for all your music!
This makes me feel so excited, I can't explain it...
its because cellos
Uses piano guys as background music while studying, has to keep telling myself not to watch Steve play the cello. He just look so happy...
thats one of the things that make these guys so great, they enjoyband have fun with what they do...and damn they do it well
+Susanne Hecht Buy the CDs Like I does
Classical music helps the mind and also helps you focus more because there are no words to it.
Caitlynn Collise There's actually a lot more going on in the brain when listening to classical music as well. its really giving your brain quite the workout.
Same tho...😂
We are dancing this at ballet. Couldn't ask for a better song to make the choreography 😍
Any chance of a You Tube video of this performance?

It is ukrainian song "Shchedryk" by Mykola Leontovych/ He was born on this day 1877

I love this so much! Brings out the excited child in me
"Carol of the Bells" / "Shchedryk" - Ukrainian pre-christian carol.
"The chant based on an ostinato four-note pattern within the range of a minor third is thought to be of prehistoric origins and was associated with the coming New Year which in Ukraine before the introduction of Christianity was originally celebrated in April." (c) And it's confirmed by the text itself - "...a little swallow flew and started to twitter", "Come out o Master, look at the sheep pen, there the ewes are nestling and the lambkin have been born".
Leontovych actually didn't create it, he arranged it in 1916. )
I keep coming back to listen to this wonderful and breath taking rendition. Thank you guys for giving so much to so many. It is deeply appreciated.
try drawing with this playing, it works so well, thanks ThePianoGuys for such a great tune because some work for drawing and others don't really work,
Breathtakingly lovely. I really like this unusual arrangement.
I love the piano guys! I can watch and lesson to them all the time!
Heard these guys 4 years ago. Been listening ever since. So talented.
I have no idea why cellos dazzle my heart- but they surely do
Underrated, omg, where have I been? Love this so much. This guy tho, the Cole Roland of Cello...please collab with Lindsey Sterling.
They actually did already. I think it was Mission: Impossible.
ThePianoGuys you are AMAZING! So inspiring! Now I want to become a master cellist.
So glad to listen to the Piano Guys at Christmas. Merry Christmas to everyone.
This just randomly loaded after my beloved TSO version of Carol of the Bells, and I was spellbound the entire time, standing ovation :)
Wow. I love the way he spun his bow like a drumstick.
(Not a musician, is a bow the thing you play a violin or Cello with?)
Yes! :)
HOLD THE PHONE was 1:45 "God rest ye merry gentlemen"?
Yes. This song is a combination of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", English popular carol, and "Carol of the Bells", by composer Mykola Leontovych.
Flying Potatoes Good, train those arm muscles!
yeah I think
yes it was
can i drop the phone now
Amazing talent...can tell where the heart is...never forget who gave you the gift...with fondest admiration...
I love this song. My favorite Christmas song
