We now have the FINALE arrangement of 'Merry Christmas, U.S.A.' available as sheet music for free download. This sheet music is in PDF. You will need a PDF viewer (Adobe Acrobat Reader) to view these files. You can download a free copy from Adobe using this link.
We have divided the sheet music into four sections, as shown in the table. Each instrument is available separately by clicking on the appropriate link. Or, you can download the whole section by clicking on the 'All (ZIP)' link at the foot of each column. This is a ZIPped archive of all the files in the column. Finally, you can download the entire set of files by clicking on the 'Entire arrangement (ZIP)' link at the foot of the table. This is also a ZIPped archive. Your browser should be able to take care of the unZIPping. You can then use Acrobat to look at the files, or print them.
The FINALE arrangement of 'Merry Christmas, U.S.A.' is also available for download. You will need a copy of the FINALE software to read this MIDI file. You can obtain a free demo copy from Coda Corporation. If FINALE doesn't exist on your platform, download the score from the table above. You can also get the basic score (lead sheet) for all four songs from this site.
