The Impossible Dream from Man of La Mancha
Program Notes

The Impossible Dream (The Quest) is the most popular song from the1965 Broadway musical Man of LaMancha and is also featured in the 1972 film of the same name. The song was composed by Mitch Leigh,with lyrics written by Joe Darion. It was awarded the Contemporary Classics Award from the Songwriter?sHall of Fame.

I have always found the lyrics of TheImpossible Dream extremely moving:

Todream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow,
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong,
To love pure and chaste from afar,
To try when your arms are too weary,
To reach the unreachable star.

This is my quest,
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far.

To fight for the right
Without question or pause,
To be willing to march
Into hell for a heavenly cause.

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will be peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this,
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage.
To fight the unbeatable foe.
To reach the unreachable star.

This arrangement for flute choir can be performed with asfew as 5 players or a full flute choir with multiple players on a part. It is scored for 3 flutes, alto flute, bassflute, and optional contrabass flute.

In 1972, Paul Simon claimed that "Bridge Over Troubled Water" was his best melody to date. When it was written in 1969, it comforted an America weary of war and civil strife. Such was the power of this song that generations have sought its healing phrases ever since. In this arrangement for flute choir, Judy Nishimura uses gospel music elements to heighten the emotional impact. The compelling legato style of the melody is well suited for flutes. Suitable for church, school, or amateur groups. An optional part for Contrabass flute is included. Duration: 5:00

A flute choir arrangement of James Horner's music from the film Titanic. Original piece from the album Back to Titanic

A simple setting of this pretty carol for flute quintet (2 C flutes, 2 Alto flutes and a Bass flute). Each verse the pitch goes up by a tone until the final verse which returns to the original key. Everybody except the bass flute has a go at the melody and each verse is harmonised in a different syle.

Verse 1 is a solo for Flute 1, Verse 2 is a duet for Flute 1 and Alto Flute 2. Verse 3 adds the Alto flute 1 and Bass, Verse 4 is the first verse with all instruments playing. Verse 5 is a trio for Altos 1 & 2 and Bass. Verse 6 uses all instruments for the finale.

This is a very simple arrangement and should be playable by any standard of ensemble.

This beloved piece, well known by many early music students, is a sweet expressive addition for your flute ensemble/ group/ choir. Simplistic enough to intermediate performers, yet complex enough to create something magical for performers and audience. This simple yet sweet melody, added with my rich textured harmonies adds a new flare to this piece, and would be perfect for playing for so many venues , concerts, churches, programs, graduation, memorial
services, and many other choices. A great way for newer players to learn expressive playing and emotional phrasing. A sure hit for all !
set for 4 c flutes, and alto flute in g , and / or bass flute . Can be used as a quintet or sextet , or small flute ensemble. A piece where all flute players can play, sharing the melody back and forth through the sections .
