By John Lennon. By John Lennon. Arranged by Eric Weber. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Graduation, Pop, Show Choir, Standards. 9 pages. Eric Weber #1424157. Published by Eric Weber (A0.1864646).Imagine ist ein Popsong von John Lennon. Die Ballade wurde im September 1971 auf seinem gleichnamigen Album Imagine sowie einen Monat später als Single veröffentlicht. Das Lied beschreibt die Vision einer Gesellschaft frei von Religion, Nationalismus und Besitz, ist ein Aufruf für den Frieden und gilt als eine Hymne der Friedensbewegung. Die Aussagen von Imagine fanden großen Anklang, und nach Lennons Ermordung 1980 erhielten sie noch zusätzliche Bedeutung.
Es gibt über 1.000 Arrangements dieses Werkes - was rechtfertigt also eine weitere Version? Vielleicht ist es der unaufgeregte Ansatz, alle Stimmen anfänglich gleichzuberechtigen. Vielleicht ist es die rhythmische Nähe zum Original. Vielleicht ist es die kleine Vocal Percussion vom Bass im Verse - entscheidet doch einfach selbst.

“Imagine” is a pop song by John Lennon. The ballad was released in September 1971 on his self-titled album "Imagine" and as a single a month later. The song describes a vision of a society free from religion, nationalism, and material possessions; it is a call for peace and is considered an anthem of the peace movement. The messages in “Imagine” resonated deeply, and after Lennon’s assassination in 1980, they took on even greater significance.
There are over 1,000 arrangements of this piece - so what justifies yet another version? Perhaps it’s the unpretentious approach of giving all voices equal weight from the start. Perhaps it’s the rhythmic closeness to the original. Perhaps it’s the subtle vocal percussion from the bass in the verse - just decide for yourself.
