Happy Birthday to You - Concert Band

Tuesday, 14 June 2016

"Happy Birthday to You", also known more simply as "Happy Birthday", is a song that is traditionally sung to celebrate the anniversary of a person's birth. According to the 1998 Guinness World Records, "Happy Birthday to You" is the most recognized song in the English language, followed by "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow".

By request Geoff Kingston has arranged both of these popular melodies for full Concert Band. First, Happy Birthday is scored in its traditional form and may be used a ‘stand-alone' piece. This is followed by a fun arrangement, in march time, incorporating ‘Happy Birthday' and ‘He's a Jolly Good Fellow'. Often ‘busked' by bands this offers a more formalised, useful setting of these much used tunes.
