The story behind the song

Blackmore's Night, led by Candice Night and Ritchie Blackmore, brings a neo-medieval folk-rock touch to this traditional Christmas carol. Their version, found on the album Winter Carols, rings with the joyous tidings of the season, celebrating the arrival of God's son in glory. The lyrics, "Ding dong merrily on high," invite listeners to reply joyously, echoing the ancient Latin "Hosanna in excelsis." It’s a song that channels the festive spirit and historical reverence often found in the band's work.
