Pure Imagination
A great take on a wonderful tune. Beginning at 130 BPM, Deutch’s arrangement of “Pure Imagination” moves to double-time swing and then into a samba groove with solo space for piano and trumpet 4. The lead trumpet range is to written high E. Check this one out! (6:47)SKU: AL43733 -

Pure Imagination (from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory)
With its message of endless possibilities and dreams fulfilled, this piece, from the 1971 Academy-award nominated film score of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964), by songwriting team Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley, has remained popular since the 1970s—and even more so today, or so says the more than 5.5 million views on YouTube. The tune surfaces three times in the movie, first during the opening title music, then as the feature number by Gene Wilder as he leads his assembled golden ticket winners into the chocolate room, and finally, as part of the “Wonkavator” music at the end. Great fun for all generations, and all generations to come! This arrangement provides a dramatic opportunity to teach expression. A charming and musical choice, it is memorable and heartwarming.
