Composed by Dorothy Heyward, Du Bose Heyward, George Gershwin, and Ira Gershwin. Arranged by Joseph M. Chopp. Jazz. Score and parts. 11 pages. JOSEPH M CHOPP #4593269. Published by JOSEPH M CHOPP (A0.924443)."Summertime" is one of most popular of all Gershwin songs. It is an aria composed in 1934 by George Gershwin for the 1935 folk opera Porgy and Bess. The flowing, languid melody with lush, rich harmonies bring the musician and an audience into a vivid picture of the hot, humid life of the early south where the "living was easy."
The melody is perfect for featuring the French horn and trombone. Listening to each other to blend individual parts with the full chords is important. Focus on dynamics, especially the "softs," will result in an accurate presentation of this beloved composition.
Playing time = 2.5 minutes
