Product Description
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas was first performed by Judy Garland in the film musical Meet Me in St Louis. Even though it was
an instant wartime hit with homesick GIs, it is Frank Sinatras 1957 recording,
with more upbeat lyrics, that has ensured the song endures as a Christmas
classic. This version is arranged as a duet for two Trumpets.
Musicians at an intermediate level and above will
find this ideal for formal and informal Christmas performances. The rhythms are
straightforward; there are some less familiar accidentals and
the arrangement covers a wide range. The overall performance time is around two
and a half minutes. The short sample audio is from the Clarinet and Alto Saxophone version while the full length video on the youtube link is the arrangement for Clarinet duet.
Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help
with ensemble skills and developing expressive playing.
