We Need a Little Christmas is a song from the 1966 Broadway musical Mame, with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman. It is performed in the first act when Mame Dennis, a wealthy and eccentric woman, suddenly finds herself bankrupt during the Great Depression. To lift everyone’s spirits, she decides that they need to celebrate Christmas early, decorating the house and spreading joy despite their financial troubles.
The song has since become a holiday standard, covered by numerous artists such as Johnny Mathis, Percy Faith, and the cast of Glee. It’s known for its upbeat melody and optimistic lyrics, making it a favorite in Christmas music playlists. While originally tied to Mame, the song has transcended its theatrical origins to become a beloved seasonal classic.
This arrangement has been scored for 13 performers, playings on: Crotales, Bells, 2 Xylophones (on 1 instrument), Vibraphone, Chimes, 4 Marimbas (on 2 instruments, 5 octave is suggested but not manditory,) Timpani, Percussion (Crash Cymbals, Sleighbells, Triangle), Drum Set, Grade 4.
