"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 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". Composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim has characterized Heyward's lyrics for "Summertime" and "My Man's Gone Now" as "the best lyrics in the musical theater" The song is recognized as among the most covered songs in the history of recorded music, with more than 33,000 covers by groups and solo performers
Release Date: 1935

Challenging harmonies and rhythmic passages have helped make this vocal jazz setting of the Gershwin standard a favorite. Now available exclusively from Alfred Music.
Arranger: Derek Fawcett | Composer: George Gershwin | Lyricist: Ira Gershwin | Musical: Porgy and Bess
One of the most treasured songs of all time, Gershwin's highly evocative writing mixes elements of jazz with artsong to create a masterwork of the 20th century. This tasteful choral setting weaves the melody through different voices with wordless choral textures, forming a rich backdrop of sound. Starting rubato, a full dynamic range and a dramatic piano accompaniment add to the emotion.
Arranger: Mac Huff | Composer: George Gershwin | Lyricist: Ira Gershwin | Musical: Porgy and Bess
This classic American song from Porgy and Bess deserves only the finest choral treatment, and Mark Hayes has certainly given it that, with a rich, lush setting. The piano accompaniment carries the voices on a dramatic journey appropriate to the nature of the piece. A song that every singer should know and will love.
Arranger: Mark Hayes | Composer: George Gershwin | Lyricist: Ira Gershwin | Musical: Porgy and Bess
Unlike the original ballad heard in the opera Porgy and Bess and sung by a high soprano, here is an easy swing rendition and placed in a key that is comfortable for developing voices. The section with a written out scat solo can be easily repeated for those choirs learning to improvise.
Arranger: Roger Emerson | Composer: Ira Gershwin | Musical: Porgy & Bess
This Gershwinae classic from Porgy and Bess truly comes to life in this exceptional new choral arrangement by Russell Robinson. While it is not without its challenges, this Broadway concert piece is well worth the effort to prepare.
