The Versatile Brass Solo CollectionSolo for Flugelhorn (Available with Treble/Bass Clef Trombone parts, Eb and F Horn plus Eb Bass and Tuba Parts)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, although the song is also co-credited to Ira Gershwin by ASCAP,The song soon became, and has remained one of the most popular and much recorded jazz standards, 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.
