“Yankee Doodle” is originally a patriotic American song, whose melody became a children song too. The earliest known version of the lyrics is from 1755, while its melody goes back to folk songs of Medieval Europe. In our days, children’s television series Barney & Friends tittle theme is based on Yankee Doodle tune. Today it is also the state anthem of Connecticut.

Arrangement Details
As you have already seen, here you’ll find an Orff arrangement and sheet music. It is in the C major key, and we could say that it’s rather easy for beginners to play. The alto metallophone and the xylophone have to play with two mallets, so it’s better for more skilled students to take on this role.
- Soprano Glockenspiel
- Alto Metallophone
- Soprano Xylophone
- Alto Xylophone
- Bass Xylophone
