Added by bernard-dewagtere, 23 Sep 2011 Gershwin began composing the song in December 1933, attempting to create his own spiritual in the style of the African American folk music of the period. The Ukrainian-Canadian composer and singer Alexis Kochan has suggested that he based the tune on a Ukrainian lullaby, Oi Khodyt Son Kolo Vikon (A Dream Passes By The Windows), which he heard in a New York City performance by Oleksander Koshetz?s Ukrainian National Chorus in 1929.[6] Gershwin had completed setting DuBose Heyward's poem to music by February 1934, and spent the next 20 months complete and orchestrating the score of the opera. The song was for the first time recorded by Abbie Mitchell on 19 July 1935, with George Gershwin playing the piano and conducting the orchestra (on: George Gershwin Conducts Excerpts form Porgy & Bess, Mark 56 667). It is sung multiple times throughout Porgy and Bess, first by Clara in Act I as a lullaby and soon after as counterpoint to the craps game scene, in Act II in a reprise by Clara, and in Act III by Bess, singing to Clara's baby.

Except for one note I should be able to sing this arrangement. Thank you. |
Bonjour, j\'ai trouvé votre édition de summer time et vous en remercie. j\'arrange également des partitions, je suis organiste, chef de ch?ur etc? bref je suis dans la musique à Grenoble. je travaille sur Finale et j\'aimerais apporter quelques \"simplifications\" d\'écriture rythmique qui pourraient alléger la lecture des chanteurs. le choix de la tonalité est excellent pour être interprété par beaucoup. pourriez-vous si vous le voulez bien m\'adresser le fichier, je vous renverrai mes micro ajustements ? avec mes remerciements bien cordialement Michel Alleysson |
