By Steve Dekker. Composed by John Lennon. Arranged by Steve Dekker. 20th Century,Chamber,Contemporary,Contest,Festival,Pop. 14 pages. Steve Dekker #1031104. Published by Steve Dekker (A0.1451794).John Lennon's "Imagine" is arguably one of the most beautiful and inspirational pieces ever written. As a lifelong fan of the Beatles and the solo work that followed the band's break up, I was inspired to compose a trombone quartet that preserved the message and intent of this Lennon classic.
The original theme and harmonic structure are held intact at the introduction but quickly give way to musical development through reharmonization, textural shifts and contrapuntal movement. In addition to maintaining steady tempo, careful attention should be paid to blend, balance, intonation and sensitivity to the melodic line.
"Imagine" for trombone quartet is accessible to high school, college and service level bands. As a trombonist, my intent was to make this arrangement interesting, fun and challenging to play. This arrangement can be showcased as a ballad for concert, festival or competition events. Tuba can also be utilized in lieu of bass trombone.
Run time is 4:00. Enjoy!
