Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas was introduced in 1944 by Judy Garland in the musical Meet Me in St. Louis, a love of a film as one critic put it. Frank Sinatra later recorded a version with modified lyrics, which has become more common than the original. The song was credited to Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, although during a December 21, 2006 NPR interview, Martin said that Blane had encouraged him to write the song but had not had anything more to do with writing it. In 2007, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) ranked Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas the third most-performed Christmas song written by ASCAP members of the past five years.

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.
