Structuring variations

Now it’s your turn!
Make a 1 minute arrangement (or longer) of "Happy birthday" in C major, using some of the concepts learnt in chapter 1, following the below criteria
- The melody can be looser but still needs to be recognisable
- You can use any meter you like
- You can write additional material to connect sections, create an intro/outro as long as it is still derivative from the original melody
Additionally the arrangement should feature all of the below techniques:
- Simple diatonic substitutions of any kind
- Non diatonic substitutions and borrowed chords for any key
- One modulation to any key
