Great arrangement

This is a great arrangement of Summertime, although quite a challenge for amateur choirs.

one great piece

I chose this as the finale of my choir's summer concert. It is a fine piece, but not for the faint-of-heart. It is rhythmically complicated, and requires some sophisticated knowledge on the part of your choir members. Otherwise, it is well worth it!

Summertime - Porgy & Bess

Great arrangement for SATB. Not too taxing on voices. Looking forward to my choir's (Austrian Australian Choir Canberra) performance of it soon.
