Composed by George Gershwin (1898-1937). Arranged by James Pybus. 20th Century,Contemporary,Wedding. 27 pages. James Pybus #5195489. Published by James Pybus (A0.764705).Lullaby was written in 1919 while Gershwin was studying harmony and counterpoint with Edward Kilenyi Sr. He was constantly seeking to expand his knowledge and refine his technique. He used the opening theme of the Lullaby as part of an aria in his unsuccessful one-act opera of 1922, Blue Monday. Though the stage work was a failure, hearing the work caused Paul Whitman to commission a work for his upcoming Aeolean Hall concert. This work turned out to be Rhapsody in Blue. This arrangement for SATB Saxophone Quartet of Lullaby for String Quartet has been made more saxophone-friendly by lowering the keys and making certain register changes. It should be a nice addition to any concert program. The duration is approximately 8:08. Please contact me at james.pybus56@gmail.com.
