Happy Bir thdayto You

words and music by Mildred J. Hill and Patty S. Hill

arranged for harp by Sylvia Woods

Dotted Rhythm - I have written the notes for the

lyric word “Hap-py” as two eighth notes.

However, it is often sung in a dotted

rhythm, as shown here. You may play it

either way, but be consistent every time

“Hap-py” comes in throughout the piece.

Introduction - You may omit the introduction

and start where the lyrics begin.

“And many more” Ending - The final “andmany more” phrase is also optional.

In the intermediate versions you may play the final

“more” chord as written, or you may tremolo the

chord. To tremolo, play the final chord rapidly over

and over again, breaking the chords as fast as

you can from bottom to top.

Duet - The easy version

may be played with the

early intermediate version

as a duet.

Key of G ArrangementsYou need to have sharping levers on the F strings

to play these arrangements.

Page 2 – Easy version – key of G

Range: 18 strings from C up to F, with no lever

changes in the music. If this version is too difficult,

beginners can just play the right hand melody.

Page 3 – Early intermediate version – key of G

Range: 21 strings from G up to F, with no lever

changes in the music.

Page 4 – Intermediate solo version – key of G

This version only works if people are not singing

along, which is why I list it as a “solo” version.

Range: 32 strings from D up to G, with an F lever

change for the final note.

Key of C ArrangementsYou need one B-flat for the final note of these

arrangements. If your lever harp isn’t tuned to

flats, you have three options.

#1. Leave out the “and many more” phrase.

#2. If people are singing along, you can leave

the B-flat out of the chord, because the singers

will be singing that note.

#3. If you have a sharping lever on your A string,

you can play an A-sharp instead of the B-flat. Omit

the left hand notes on “and many more” so your

left hand is free to flip the "A" lever immediately

before the last note.

Page 6 – Easy version – key of C

Range: 18 strings from F up to B-flat, with no lever

changes in the music. If this version is too difficult,

beginners can just play the right hand melody.

Page 7 – Early intermediate version – key of C

Range: 21 strings, from C up to B-flat. There are

no sharping lever changes within the music.

Page 8 – Intermediate solo version – key of C

This version only works if people are not singing

along, which is why I list it as a “solo” version.

Range: 33 strings from C up to G, with a B-flat

lever change for the final note. If your harp has 3

full octaves above middle C, you may play the C

arpeggios in measures 9 and 17 up an octave if

you wish.
