Published by Louke Publishing (A0.736271).Low Flute EnsembleThe Impossible Dream from Man of La ManchaProgram NotesThe Impossible Dream (The Quest) is the most popular song from the 1965 Broadway musical Man of La Mancha 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’s Hall of Fame. I have always found the lyrics of The Impossible Dream extremely moving:To dream 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 rightWithout question or pause,To be willing to marchInto hell for a heavenly cause.And I know if I'll only be trueTo this glorious questThat my heart will be peaceful and calmWhen I'm laid to my rest.And the world will be better for this,That one man scorned and covered with scarsStill 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 as few as 5 players or a full flute choir with multiple players on a part. It is scored for 3 flutes, alto flute, bass flute, and optional contrabass flute.
