Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1153905 By The Carpenters. By Frank Pooler and Richard Carpenter. Arranged by Dave Gingras and John E. Dosher. Christmas. Score. 3 pages. DAVID LEE GINGRAS #754172. Published by DAVID LEE GINGRAS (A0.1153905). Merry Christmas, Darling is a Christmas song by the Carpenters (music by Richard Carpenter, lyrics by Frank Pooler), and originally recorded in 1970. It was first available on a 7-inch single that year (A&M Records 1236), and was later re-issued in 1974 (A&M 1648) and again in 1977 (A&M 1991). The single went to number one on Billboard's Christmas singles chart in 1970 (and did so again in 1971 and 1973) and peaked at number 41 in Cashbox. This version features a root-based chord blocking that John and I have used in a number of our arrangements. For interest and to keep the rhythm moving, we added some pretty cool left-hand fills. We hope you like what we've done with the song!
