After performing in a string sextett for a few years, it became apparent that the repertoire is limited for this genre, certainly no where near as large as the string quartet works available.  

I have arranged some pieces that can be used as either programmatic or an encore.  Often you just need one or two short pieces to complete your program and these work very well indeed to achieve that.  Because they have already been performed, the kinks have been ironed out and are ready to play.

Parts are sold in a set and each one contains a cover page, meaning it is possible to print a booklet. For scores of the pieces, please email me on the product link which I will supply free-of-charge.  Please provide evidence that you have purchased the parts to obtain a score.

For any other requests for arrangements, don't hesitate to contact me

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is a song written in 1943 by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane and introduced by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical Meet Me in St. Louis.

Frank Sinatra later recorded a version with modified lyrics. In 2007, ASCAP ranked it the third most performed Christmas song during the preceding five years that had been written by ASCAP members. In 2004 it finished at No. 76 in AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs rankings of the top tunes in North American cinema.

This arrangement for Trombone solo and brass band is based on a big band arrangement by the great American arranger Dave Wolpe. It is suitable for advanced intermediate trombone players with a range up to High Bb. The central improvised section has a written solo that I personally played (but this can be expanded upon at the discretion of the soloist).

Composed by Irving Berlin. Arranged by Timothy Stapay/Liberace. Broadway,Easter,Film/TV,Musical/Show,Standards,Traditional. Score. 10 pages. Timothy Stapay #809498. Published by Timothy Stapay (A0.1211946).

Easter Parade by Irving Berlin, is arranged as played by legendary piano showman, Liberace.  Here for the first time is the sheet music for this famous song, arranged as performed by Liberace.  Now you can learn to play this classic Easter Season song, just like this world-famous pianist.

Easter Parade is a popular song, written by Irving Berlin and published in 1933. Berlin originally wrote the melody in 1917, under the title Smile and Show Your Dimple, as a cheer up song for a girl whose man has gone off to fight in World War I.  Berlin resurrected the tune, with modifications, and gave it the now-familiar Easter lyrics for the 1933 Broadway musical revue As Thousands Cheer, in which musical numbers were strung together on the thematic thread of newspaper headlines.

In 1942, it was featured in the musical film Holiday Inn, in which it was performed by Bing Crosby. In 1948, it was performed by Judy Garland and Fred Astaire in the musical film Easter Parade, which was constructed around the song.

Władziu Valentino Liberace(May 16, 1919 – February 4, 1987) was an American pianist, singer, and actor.  A child prodigy born in Wisconsin to parents of Italian and Polish origin, he enjoyed a career spanning four decades of concerts, recordings, television, motion pictures, and endorsements. At the height of his fame from the 1950s to 1970s, he was the highest-paid entertainer in the world!

Lyrics below:

[Verse 1]
In your Easter bonnet
With all the frills upon it
You'll be the grandest lady
In the Easter parade

I'll be all in clover
And when they look you over
I'll be the proudest fellow
In the Easter parade
[Chorus]
On the avenue, Fifth Avenue
The photographers will snap us
And you'll find that you're
In the rotogravure

Oh, I could write a sonnet
About your Easter bonnet
And of the girl I'm taking
To the Easter parade

[Chorus]
On the avenue, Fifth Avеnue
The photographers will snap us
And you'll find that you'rе
In the rotogravure

Oh, I could write a sonnet
About your Easter bonnet
And of the girl I'm taking
To the Easter parade

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - By Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane
Arranged by Elena Fortin

This gem of a Christmas song was first written in 1943, and was used in the 1944 film Meet Me In St. Louis. Judy Garland introduced this song in a scene where she is comforting a younger sister when they learn they are moving away from their beloved home.

This arrangement is a nod to classic film--think old style soundtracks with lush orchestrations. I chose to write this song in 12/8 time, so the left hand triplets are accompanying the melody throughout. The song has undergone a few lyric changes since it's first incarnation--lyrics that were considered to be depressing were changed to be more uplifting.

A well-beloved holiday favourite, the song has been performed by several different recording artists including Frank Sinatra, Micheal Buble, Josh Groban, and Sam Smith.
