A beautiful song in minor key, arranged for flutechoir by me, Ray-Michael Kauffman, a flutist and performer and arranger offlute choir/music. Since I play all flutes of the flute family, I like tothink I understand the complexities of what works and what doesn't for all fluteschoirs/ ensembles.

This arrangement gives every instrument a chance to shine, whetherplaying a solo or melody in that instrument part (from bass, alto, flutes topiccolo). This would make an amazing piece to add to your holiday performance,or singularly for church/secular or school program. scored forpiccolo, flute 1-5, alto and bass (which may also be played by contra bass).overall, it is intermediate plus but arrangement allows for less seasonedplayers to play flute 3, 4 or 5. flute 5 is not required for performance butadds extra harmony, structure and support of the arrangement. May be playedfrom a small group or larger ensemble. larger ensemble please take note inrehearsal A marking where for several measures, the higher flutes (2 and 1) arelimited in players where as not to overpower the bass flute solo. Thankyou for checking my arrangement out and I hope you love it as much as I do.

** Note this is the original and deluxe flute choir / ensemble version. There is other "Mary did you know " titles for flute , but they are at a small group , and basic entry level ability and those versions suited for basic elementary or middle school quartet flutes.

My title is suited for adult, advanced players of an actual flute choir. enjoy.

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 !

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 this beatbox flute quartet scores, I've exclusively add all the beatbox notations under the notes needed. It's what I thought the best for this piece, but it's encouraged to add your own version of beatbox along with the flute melody. Beatbox flute is all about creativity and possibility, it's kind of spirit of it.

In my arrangement, every parts of flute was made for a purpose:

- Flute 1: for the best player of the group
- Flute 2: for the upcoming player
- Flute 3: for the beginner player

So, it's appropriate for schools and students, you can decide which parts are they going to play according to their different levels in the same team.

The Queen's Gambit is a miniseries that Netflix released in October 2020, and it quickly became one of their most-watched shows around the world.

Show aside, it has one of the most exciting musical scores, with the title number being my absolute favorite of the entire soundtrack, written by Carlos Rafael Rivera.

Scored for 2 C, alto, and bass flutes.

Geared for the more advanced groups, this piece is on fire from start to finish. At under 2 minutes, your quartet will have quite the workout. This would be a great opener or closer for your concerts.

Duration: 1.75 minutes
