By The Beatles. By John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Arranged by David McKeown. Rock. 4 pages. David McKeown #5324719. Published by David McKeown (A0.589147).In My Life by the Beatles, was released on the 1965 album, Rubber Soul. It was chiefly written and sung by John Lennon, who claimed it was his first serious attempt at personal song-writing. The song features a baroque style piano solo by George Martin. The tempo was too fast for him to perform it, so he played it at half tempo and layer doubled the tape speed. The resulting tinny sound gave rise to a host of copycat harpsichord solos on contemporary pop songs.
This version of In My Life is arranged as a duet for two Violins.
Musicians at an intermediate level will find In My Life ideal for formal and informal concert performance. Most of the duet is straightforward though the transcribed piano solo is difficult for both players; these eight bars can be skipped without affecting the overall structure of the song. The overall performance time is around two and a half minutes. The full YouTube performance above is the Clarinet Duet version of In My Life.
Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help with ensemble skills and syncopated rhythms.
