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.

A favorite song heard every “Christmas is Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas� music and lyrics by Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin. Teaching in high school, I loved to work with vocal jazz and one Christmas I made an a cappella arrangement of this song for my POP Group. But because of copyright, it remained in my Finale Folder until ArrangeMe came along. Here is a recording by Matthew Curtis and one of his assistants. And yes, it’s now available on Sheet Music Plus. Merry Christmas and thanks for listening. Tom Council
