Composed by George Gershwin. Arranged by Diego Marani. This edition: audio, pdf. 20th Century, Blues, Instructional, Jazz, Standards. 10 pages. Diego Marani #1344928. Published by Diego Marani (A0.1784871).An American in Paris is a jazz-influenced symphonic poem (or tone poem) for orchestra by American composer George Gershwin first performed in 1928. It was inspired by the time that Gershwin had spent in Paris and evokes the sights and energy of the French capital during the Années folles. In 1951, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer released the musical film An American in Paris, featuring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron and directed by Vincente Minnelli. Winning the 1951 Best Picture Oscar and numerous other awards, the film featured many tunes of Gershwin and concluded with an extensive, elaborate dance sequence built around the symphonic poem An American in Paris.
In this arrangement for flute quartet (Flute 1, Flute 2, Flute 3, Flute 4 or Alto Flute) we have the marvelous and very famous B section's "Andante ma con ritmo deciso" that introduces the American Blues and spasms of homesickness. It is suitable for any purpose: classroom, recital, repertoire.
