Jul, Jul, Strålande Jul is a Christmas song from Sweden. Gustaf Nordqvist wrote the music, with lyrics by Edvard Evers. The title translates as “Christmas, Glorious Christmas”, and the carol has been one of the most popular Christmas songs in Sweden since its publication in 1921. There have been many versions of Jul, Jul, Strålande Jul recorded by musicians in Scandinavia and around the world.

Our demonstration video was recorded last December, as part of an online handbell duet concert we put together for a group in Colorado.
