Detailed Description
SKU: A0.588138
By The Beatles. By John Lennon, John Winston Lennon, Paul James Mccartney, and Paul McCartney. Arranged by David McKeown. Rock. 5 pages. David McKeown #5306093. Published by David McKeown (A0.588138).When I’m Sixty-Four first appeared on the Beatles’ 1967 album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Despite the song’s appearance relatively late in the Beatles’ discography, it was one of the first songs that Paul McCartney wrote, at the age of 16. When the song was finally recorded in 1966, Paul McCartney felt it was too slow and turgid. George Martin simply solved the problem by speeding up the tape and raising the pitch by one semitone.
This version of When I’m Sixty-Four is arranged as a duet for one Flute and one Alto Saxophone. The full YouTube performance above is the Flute version of this duet.
Musicians at an intermediate level will find this ideal for formal and informal concert performance. The overall performance time is around two and a half minutes.
Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help with ensemble skills and expressive playing.
