"My Twelve Tone Melody" is a 1988 composition by Leonard Bernstein written in tribute to Irving Berlin in celebration of Berlin's 100th birthday.

[1] It was performed by Bernstein at the concert to celebrate Berlin's birthday at Carnegie Hall in May 1988.

[1] The piece was poorly received by Berlin's family at the concert, Bernstein's biographer, Joan Peyser, described it as a "dour, mean little piece" and that the piece could be interpreted as a "shot fired in a battle" between "late twentieth-century masters".

[3] The piece is written in the twelve-tone technique and adapts Berlin's songs "Always" and "Russian Lullaby".

Bernstein remembered "Russian Lullaby" from his youth.
