"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" was the seventh single released by John Lennon outside his work in the Beatles, and it was recorded by John and Yoko Ono with the Plastic Ono Band and the Harlem Community Choir. Originally intended as a protest song about the Vietnam War as well as a holiday song, "Happy Xmas" has since become a standard for the season and has been covered by numerous other artists. Even though it was not as immediately popular in the US as it was in the UK, it's now one of the most beloved Christmas songs around the world, so you can't go wrong having it in your gig books! Perfect for holiday parties and events, this arrangement for string quartet maintains the beautiful countermelodies, lush harmonies, and cheerful rhythmic feel of the original. And the melody passes around throughout the song to v1, v2, and viola, so this chart will be fun for everyone to play! Rated intermediate, this will be playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals. Sarah “Cellobat” Chaffee is an in-demand acoustic & electric cellist and string arranger.
