<P> The tune was finally sold in 1939 to Glenn Miller , who played around with its arrangement for a while . Although the arrangers of most of the Miller tunes are known , things are a bit uncertain for `` In the Mood '' . It is often thought that Eddie Durham ( who contributed other arrangements on the recording date of `` In the Mood '' , August 1 , 1939 as well ) , John Chalmers , Chummy MacGregor ( the pianist , composer , and arranger in the Glenn Miller Orchestra ) and Miller himself contributed most to the final version . According to the account by MacGregor , `` all they used of the original arrangement were the two front saxophone strains and another part that occurred later on in the arrangement . '' Both MacGregor and Miller were involved in creating the final arrangement : `` MacGregor mentioned that additional solos were added to the original arrangement and he wrote the finishing coda . Miller probably edited some of the arrangement along with MacGregor . '' </P>
