Sweet, charming, and elegant little piece - ever popular with piano students but works great on strings, too.  Excellent for advanced intermediate middle or high school orchestra players who need an extra project, for recitals, solo and ensemble festivals and contests, and, of course, wedding gigs.  .

It is unique among Gershwin compositions in that it was used for two different Broadway productions: Treasure Girl (1928) and Strike Up the Band (1930), It is considered a jazz standard, primarily of the vocal repertoire, thanks to recordings by singers such as Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald.

Graceful viola duet arrangement of familiar Baroque melody.  Great for recitals, senior home concerts, weddings, sight reading, middle and high school chamber music programs, and music camps.  Excellent for adult players who just want to play something pretty together.  Lower part has lots of interesting leaps and string changes.

Now an annual event in its fourth year, “Proms In The Playground� is an initiative that encourages community bands to connect with their local schools by offering a performance in their playground. As well as getting young people excited about brass banding, this initiative helps bands forge and strengthen relationships with organisations around them. For those bands that want to go beyond just a performance, this initiative is an ideal opportunity to offer a taster session so school children can learn about the opportunities available in their local brass bands.

- Helen Minshall, BBE Youth Development Brass Specialist

When I was asked to arrange a collection of fun pieces for Brass Bands England’s “Proms In The Playground� initiative, I was more than happy to do so. It’s a brilliant way to engage local schools with music and brass bands, and I hope this set of arrangements will be enjoyable to perform and share with your community all year round.

- Mark Harrison, Arranger.

無論是詩還是作曲, �為 Johnson K. Gao 的作�。 歌詞第一部分寫於 1991年。第二部分歌詞是 2016 年他訪�在�特里娜颶風後被�復的新奧爾良後添加的。 中英文歌詞如下所示。This is Johnson Gao's work, both the poem and the song composition. The first part of lyrics were written in 1991. The second part of lyrics were added in 2016 after he visited New Orleans, which was recovered post the Katrina hurricane. Both Chinese and English lyrics are shown below. 秋霧 高�雄作: �看白紗掩�山, 近�秋蟲鳴翠壇; 石屋朦朧隱芳�, 旋花迷離上窗欖。茫茫人生�艱險, 旦夕��莫�天。良機�待有心人, 霾消日照彩雲邊。 The Autumn Fog : Hills are blocked by the milky fog. Crickets are singing in the green-bed. Fuzzy stony houses are hiding in the woods. Blurring flowers across the window are climbing up. The vague life is like wondering in the fog. Crazy morning and lucky eve had been pre-set. Chance favors to those who can catch her. When the haze was over, the sun looks shiner.
