Composed by Dorothy Heyward, Du Bose Heyward, George Gershwin, and Ira Gershwin. Arranged by Rita Arendz. 20th Century,Contest,Festival,Jazz,Opera,Spiritual. Brass Band. 32 pages. Rita Arendz #883950. Published by Rita Arendz (A0.1293465).SUMMERTIME from PORGY & BESS (Brass Band)
Now considered a jazz standard, Summertime is the well-loved aria from George Gershwin's only opera, Porgy & Bess. It premiered on Broadway on October 10, 1935. Its flexibility allowed Gershwin to use the aria four times within the opera; Clare's lullaby as the opening aria is simple and calm, while Bess's is stormy and full of tension later in the opera.
That flexibility also has allowed for numerous covers in various styles - from cool to blues to spiritual, from jazz to big band to classical, rock, and even hip hop.
While so many instrumental arrangements are for a soloist and accompaniment, this setting for British-style Brass Band not only mixes some of the styles but also allows many instruments to have their moment to shine with the melody and countermelodies.
This is wonderful for concert or festival use.
