Carol of the Bells for trumpet quartet

The popular song "Carol of the Bells" has its roots in the melody of an old Ukrainian folk song called Shchedryk, featuring a four-note ostinato and is in 3/4 time signature.
Not originally a Christmas tune, Shchedryk is actually a song to celebrate New Years. The most famous version has music written and arranged by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych in 1914.
More about this on Wikipedia.

Here is my arrangement for four trumpets, with video this time:
