  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.

original key and high B at end

I am particularly interested to make sure that when I purchase a score, that it is faithful to the original both in key, language and arrangement, due to lyric opera contests which indicate these as requisites. In all the recordings I've heard of Summertime from Porgy and Bess, there is always a high B at the end of the last verse. Not so in the copy I just purchased. If anyone from editing might be able to comment I would be grateful. Sue
