HAPPY BIRTHDAY FANTASY String Orchestra - Digital Sheet Music

 Be sure to ask your audience if anyone is celebrating a birthday, then offer up this special treat! "Happy Birthday Fantasy" is a clever reimagining of the tune everyone learns in childhood, then sings again and again throughout their lifetime. It's been around since 1859 and is probably the most loved and familiar song in history.   "Fantasy" begins with the familiar waltz sounds of "Happy Birthday." Then, bingo! Do I hear a minuet by Johann Strauss? A transition into a surprising minor key follows, with echoes of composer Florian Hermann's memorable "Dark Eyes." Next, it's time for a key signature change to 4/4 time, as the musical influence of the "March King," John Phillip Sousa, comes to the fore. Finally, the "Fantasy" closes with the arranger inventively superimposing the theme from Franz Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody #2" over the time-honored melody.   Full of surprises and deft forays into five musical genres - and offering a little classical education for your students along the way - "Happy Birthday Fantasy" is scored for Middle School/Jr. High School String Orchestra.
