BE! #10: "Happy Holiday" Vocal Arrangement

First introduced by Bing Crosby with John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra in 1942 from the film Holiday Inn, "Happy Holiday" is one of the most recorded songs in history. Used frequently as a Christmas track, it could also be used like "Auld Lang Syne" as a New Year's Eve material just as it was used in the film to express a wish for the audience to enjoy throughout the year the rest of the holidays. The song was composed by Irving Berlin in the same year.

Here's an arrangement I wrote last month. I wrote it in Bb key based on Jo Stafford's version. I actually have a home recording of it to which you can listen.
