Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1586812)."My Man's Gone Now" is an aria composed by George Gershwin for the opera 'Porgy and Bess' (1935). Sung in the original production by Ruby Elzy, it has been covered by many singers over the years, notably Ella Fitzgerald, Leontyne Price, Audra McDonald, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan and Shirley Horn. In the opera, the aria is sung by Serena, a grieving widow, at her husband Robbins' wake. He has been murdered during a game of craps played in the courtyard of Catfish Row; she sings that she will no longer hear his footsteps coming up the stairs and that "ol man sorrow" will be her companion from now on. This arrangement for concert band has been created to mark the 90th anniversary of the opera in 2025.
