The Impossible Dream (The Quest) - Ringway A2000 Maestro & Hammond mSolo Cover by Richard S Hockett

The Impossible Dream (The Quest)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Impossible Dream (The Quest)" is a popular song composed by Mitch Leigh, with lyrics written by Joe Darion. It was written for the 1965 Broadway musical Man of La Mancha and is also featured in the 1972 film of the same name starring Peter O'Toole.

The complete song is first sung by Don Quixote as he stands vigil over his armor, in response to Aldonza (Dulcinea)'s question about what he means by "following the quest". It is reprised partially three more times – the last by prisoners in a dungeon as Miguel de Cervantes and his manservant mount the drawbridge-like prison staircase to face trial by the Spanish Inquisition.

Leigh received the Contemporary Classics Award from the Songwriter's Hall of Fame for the song.[1] A version recorded by Jack Jones in 1966 peaked at No. 35 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached No. 1 on the Easy Listening chart.

This piece, as presented, is arranged and performed by Richard S Hockett, MBA on a Ringway A2000M (Maestro) Orchestral Organ. The recording is a LIVE performance recorded in my Apache Junction, AZ home recording studio.
