Composed by George Gershwin. Arranged by Phyllis Hopper. Blues,Chamber,Jazz. 12 pages. HopSez Productions #797843. Published by HopSez Productions (A0.1198761).Add some easy blues chromaticism to your repetoire with this classic Gershwin tune. In a switch from the usual, the melody is carried by the viola and sometimes the cello (bass clef).
This arrangement is raised a half step from the original. Now in D minor (with a brief foray into G major), the range is not technically difficult; however, the piece is peppered with enough accidentals to keep you on your toes.
Suggestion: I think the arrangement would sound nice if coupled with a Joplin rag. I'd be interested in hearing how you choose to incorporate it into your program.
The work was influenced by a masterful performance from pianist Eduardo Rojas. Please check it out.
