Summertime by Ira Gershwin Alto Saxophone - Digital Sheet Music

By George Gershwin

SUMMERTIME from PORGY AND BESS for TRUMPET AND ALTO SAXOPHONE DUET - Generally regarded as one of Gershwin’s finest songs, “Summertime” was composed for his opera “Porgy and Bess” in 1934. The jazz and spiritual influenced aria is a lullaby for Clara to sing to her child in act 1, and is reprised several times throughout the opera. The song has gone on to be one of Gershwin’s most popular compositions with thousands of versions being made and recorded. This arrangement is for Bb Trumpet and Alto Saxophone duet, but for a more mellow sound-world the trumpet part could be played on Flugelhorn instead. The score format is a double stave displaying both parts and the set includes 2 copies. Difficulty level : Intermediate/Advanced.
