"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" was written in 1943 by Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin. We love the Karen Carpenter (The Carpenters) version, but she stretches the tempo considerably -- nice to listen to, but hard to capture for written music. I borrowed a little bit of the background from Karen’s rendition and also Judy Garland’s rendition.

As in many of my recent pieces, you can use Composer commands to display the lyrics (qsl) or the chords (qscn).

Happy Holidays!
