For Woodwind Quintet
🎄🎄🎄Charm your holiday audiences with this intermediate arrangement for woodwind quintet of the beautiful holiday gem "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," originally heard in the 1943 classic MGM movie-musical Meet Me in St. Louis--instantly downloadable for your next performance. The arrangement is perfect for holiday parties, events, recitals, and caroling gigs. The arrangement was written for most ensembles, from high school and college groups to professional quintets. As always, I have included an alternate bass clarinet in lieu of a missing bassoon.
🎄This classic holiday song, with its lush, sophisticated chord progressions, evokes feelings of nostalgia and warmth, perfect for the wintry holidays. Originally sung by Judy Garland, the song has been recorded over 1500 times by such notable artists as Ella Fitzgerald, Chicago, Whitney Houston, Michael Bublé, and John Legend, reaching multi-platinum status. This cherished holiday favorite has earned a place in the hearts of many worldwide. Originally scored for a studio orchestra, I hope you enjoy this setting for woodwind quintet.
