Summertime from Porgy and Bess - Digital Sheet Music

  1. Home
  2. Porgy and Bess

  4. Piano/Vocal/Chords
One of Gershwin's most popular songs, this comes from the opera Porgy and Bess, and it has become a jazz standard over the years. The song is written in a minor key, but the lyrics sound uplifting and comforting, most likely because Clara is singing to an orphaned baby whose parents died in a storm. Enjoy singing and playing this interesting jazz piece.

Summertime (Porgy and Bess)

Grateful for such an accessible and fine arrangement; and so was my pianist.
