A greeting made into music

We Wish You a Merry Christmas combines a holiday greeting with a request for festive hospitality. Its very early history remains uncertain. The familiar greeting makes it a useful closing song for a seasonal gathering, with the audience addressed directly by the performers. Ohio State University Libraries’ carol overview.

Choosing a version to play

Start with the difficulty group that matches your current playing, then open a score and compare its texture, hand positions, and length with music you already play comfortably. Arrangement numbers identify versions; they do not rank the pieces from easiest to hardest.

For a melody with your own accompaniment, choose a lead sheet in a comfortable key. Try a simple chord pattern first, then adjust the accompaniment to suit a solo performance or a singer.
