“We Wish You A Merry Christmas - Advanced Piano Arrangement No. 2” is a three-page piano arrangement of the traditional English Christmas carol, arranged by Polly Bekasova. The music is marked Allegretto and written in 3/4, keeping the carol’s bright triple-meter character while adding a more developed piano texture. The arrangement begins with a clear melody over light left-hand motion, then gradually expands into fuller accompaniment, more active passing notes, chromatic color, and a stronger chordal ending.
Measures 1–13 introduce the main carol melody. The right hand carries the familiar tune in a clear upper register, while the left hand supports it with offbeat notes, held tones, and simple moving figures. The texture is lighter here, allowing the melody to stay easy to recognize.
Measures 14–29 continue the carol with a more flowing accompaniment. The left hand becomes more active with repeated eighth-note patterns and broken motion, while the right hand keeps the melody moving above it. This section gives the arrangement more forward energy while still staying close to the original tune.
Measures 30–42 form a more decorated middle section. The hands use fuller intervals, repeated chord shapes, and chromatic notes that add extra color to the harmony. The melody is still present, but the piano writing becomes more advanced and more active than in the opening section.
Measures 43–46 lead into a key change and prepare the final section. The music uses rising motion and stronger harmonic movement, creating a clear transition from the earlier melody-based writing into the more chordal ending.
Measures 47–64 present the final section in a fuller texture. Both hands use thicker chords and stronger rhythmic motion, giving the carol a broader and more festive sound. The final measures stretch into long held chords, ending the arrangement with a confident, full sonority.
Interesting fact: “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” is a traditional English carol from the West Country of England. Unlike many Christmas hymns, it is strongly connected with the custom of carolers visiting homes and asking for festive treats, especially through the famous “figgy pudding” verse.
