SUMMERTIME from PORGY & BESS (Brass Band)Now considered a jazz standard, Summertime is the well-loved aria from George Gershwin's only opera, Porgy & Bess.  It premiered on Broadway on October 10, 1935.  Its flexibility allowed Gershwin to use the aria four times within the opera; Clare's lullaby as the opening aria is simple and calm, while Bess's is stormy and full of tension later in the opera.That flexibility also has allowed for numerous covers in various styles - from cool to blues to spiritual, from jazz to big band to classical, rock, and even hip hop.While so many instrumental arrangements are for a soloist and accompaniment, this setting for British-style Brass Band not only mixes some of the styles but also allows many instruments to have their moment to shine with the melody and countermelodies.This is wonderful for concert or festival use.Duration ~4:00   32 Pages.

Summertime from 'Porgy and Bess' by Gershwin; as played by pianist Roger Williams. The original was written in 4/4 time or sometimes written in cut-time. This arrangement is unique in that it is written as a jazz waltz; which Gershwin would later play on various piano rolls. The Roger Williams performance; on which this arrangement is based; follows Gershwin's example. Summertime is an aria composed in 1934 by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. The lyrics are by DuBose Heyward, the author of the novel Porgy on which the opera was based, and Ira Gershwin. The song soon became a popular and much-recorded jazz standard, described as without doubt ... one of the finest songs the composer ever wrote ... Gershwin's highly evocative writing brilliantly mixes elements of jazz and the song styles of blacks in the southeast United States from the early twentieth century Roger Williams (born Louis Jacob Weertz; October 1, 1924 – October 8, 2011) was an American popular music pianist. Described by the Los Angeles Times as one of the most popular instrumentalists of the mid-20th century, and the rare instrumental pop artist to strike a lasting commercial chord, Williams had 22 hit singles–including the chart-topping Autumn Leaves in 1955 and Born Free in 1966–and 38 hit albums between 1955 and 1972. He was a Navy boxing champion, played for nine U.S. Presidential administrations, and had a gold Steinway & Sons grand piano model named in his honor.

Jazz. Score and parts. 13 pages. Phil Thrift #5333957. Published by Phil Thrift (A0.955721). Everyone has heard the very evocative song Summertime from the opera Porgy and Bess many times. I hope you’ll enjoy my interpretation written for solo viola and string quintet: 2 violins, tutti viola, cello, and bass.After the introduction, the soloist is given plenty of space to make the most of the rich sound of the viola’s lowest octave. The accompaniment is thickened marginally when tutti viola and bass join in at letter B. At letter C the soloist repeats the melody but one octave higher, gradually adding more and more decoration as the accompaniment builds and reaches a climax in measure 36. That is followed by a strong statement from the quintet which ebbs away to give the soloist space again to take us into the concluding section (watch out for those 5/4 measures!) with long notes allowing the listener to fully appreciate the sound of the viola and a quasi-cadenza to round off this arrangement.This is a good chance for your viola player to step briefly into the limelight and show us what the viola can do! Although my version follows the original closely, the soloist should not feel constricted to the notes of the written part, should try to achieve a slightly more jazzy style, playing a little behind the time while the accompanying quintet sticks rigidly to the tempo.The quintet parts could be played by a small string orchestra instead of solo instruments.
