is a song from the
American opera Porgy and
Bess, composed in 1935 by
George Gershwin
(1898-1937), to a
libretto by DuBose
Heyward and his brother
Ira Gershwin, after
Heyward’s novel
Porgy - a story about the
love between the crippled
negro beggar Porgy and
the girl Bess in the city
of Charleston in South
Carolina. The première
- not a huge success -
took place on 10 October
1935 in New York.With his
opera, Gershwin wanted to
gain recognition as a
composer of classical
music. Incidentally he
demanded that all parts
were sung by black
performers; only a few
unimportant parts,without
sung lyrics, were allowed
to be performed by white
actors. This rule still
applies: Gershwin has
stated in the terms of
his will that only black
people were allowed stage
the opera.Porgy & Bess
has become popular only
after Gershwin’s
death. In 1959 a
wonderful film was made;
the soundtrack won a
Grammy Award. The work is
not very often performed,
possibly because of the
difficulty of finding a
whole cast of black opera
singers. However, various
pieces from the opera are
still regularly performed
in numerous arrangements.
