Composed by Mildred J. Hill. Arranged by MissoRB. This edition: pdf. Historic, Standards, Traditional. 4 pages. MissoRB #1369120. Published by MissoRB (A0.1808941).This easy level arrangement of Happy Birthday to You is written for Violin Duet and Cello (String Trio), with chord symbols included in the score, making it ideal for beginner and early-intermediate players, teachers, and classroom performances. The song was composed by Patty Smith Hill and Mildred J. Hill (1893) and is one of the most recognized melodies in the world, widely used in celebrations, education, and social events.
In this trio setting, Violin 1 carries the main melody entirely in first position, Violin 2 provides a simple harmonic and rhythmic counter-melody, and the Cello supplies a supportive bass line and harmonic foundation. This creates a balanced and rich three-part string texture suitable for small ensembles. The chord symbols reinforce harmonic understanding and allow optional accompaniment by piano or guitar. The joyful and familiar character of the song is fully preserved, making it suitable for student ensembles, recitals, and festive occasions.
