Title: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Level: 1
Composer/Arranger: Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane/ arr. by Philip Gordon
Publisher: Leo Feist, Inc.
Classification: Christmas Carol
Instrumentation: Reduced
Source: Central Middle School Band Library
General Comments: This is a Christmas carol that is familiar to many, and has been arranged for lower level bands. It is a good exercise in playing softly. Gordon has scored the parts so that they are all doubled, and the texture is quite thick, although there is a euphonium solo in the middle of the piece. The ranges are easy, and the percussion part is not difficult.
