Variations of the song "Happy Birthday to You" by Patty and Mildred Hill have entertained audiences by talented musicians for over a century. This collection of 12 variations blends the "Happy Birthday" theme with famous classical pieces suitable for the intermediate player (though a few selections are slightly more challenging and may require extra practice). These arrangements have been shortened significantly from their original score and simplified when needed so that each song is only 2 pages long and takes about 1 minute to perform. These medleys add a fun surprise birthday wish when presented during a recital or other gathering. This collection also makes a great birthday gift for your musician friends. Titles in this collection include: * "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" by Bach * "Minuet in G" by Beethoven * "Cradle Song" by Brahms * "Largo" by Handel * "The Hallelujah Chorus" by Handel * "Allegretto" by Haydn * "The Entertainer" by Joplin * "Symphony No. 40" by Mozart * "Canon in D" by Pachelbel * "The Unfinished Symphony" by Schubert * "The Stars and Stripes Forever" by Sousa * "Piano Concerto No. 1" by Tchaikovsky Sheet music previews and audio samples for the individual songs are available on the Sheet Music Plus website (search by song title at the link below): http://www.
