[NO]Mykola Leontyovich var en Ukrainsk komponist som interesserte seg spesielt for kormusikk. Sangen «Carol of the Bells» var en bestilling som han fullførte i 1914, og den baserer seg på en folkemelodi kjent som «Shchedryk».
Komponisten er kjent som en martyr, ettersom han ble myrdet av en sovjetisk agent i 1921. Leontyovich var kjent som en tilhenger av frigjøringsbevegelsen i Ukraina.
Denne sangen ble omarbeidet av Peter J Wilhousky, og gitt engelsk tekst i 1936. Etter det har den blitt svært populær, og vi kjenner den blant annet fra filmen «Hjemme alene» (1990). Den har også blitt innspilt en rekke ganger, blant annet av vokalgruppen Pentatonix.
