Click the Green Flag to hear the song. This project goes along with a post that I added to the Scratch 3 forum suggesting that the Scratch team add a second version of the song "Happy Birthday to you" to the Scratch 3.0 sound library. This song is very popular and I believe that beginners would use it for inspiration if a fuller sounding version was included with Scratch. The Scratch 3 link for this project is at http://beta.scratch.mit.edu/#248022990 Press "B" to hear the "Birthday Bells" song that is currently in the Scratch 2 and Scratch 3 libraries.
The melody and lyrics are now in the public domain. This is my own arrangement and was played by me so there is no license issue. Feel free to use it (and if you're the Scratch Team, feel free to add it to the Scratch 3.0 sound library). Patty and Mildred J. Hill composed the melody in 1893. The boy's choir voices came from the "Mellotron" iPad app M3000 HD.
