About this item
Arranged in a dramatic style, this piece will give your orchestra a “great American standard” to go along with their classical standards! Sung countless times and featured on stage and screen, we also remember this piece from a music teacher favorite, Mr. Holland’s Opus. Opening with a solo violin over tremolo accompaniment, we hear the often-left-out opening verse. Next, the cello and viola sections soar with the well-known chorus. The music builds until finally the violins play the theme at the end.

Composer
George Gershwin (1898-1937)
George Gershwin (September 26, 1898 – July 11, 1937) was an American composer and pianist.[1][2] Gershwin's compositions spanned both popular and classical genres, and his most popular melodies are widely known. Among his best known works are the orchestral compositions Rhapsody in Blue (1924) and An American in Paris (1928), as well as the opera, Porgy and Bess (1935).
He wrote most of his vocal and theatrical works, including more than a dozen Broadway shows, in collaboration with his elder brother, lyricist Ira Gershwin. George Gershwin composed music for both Broadway and the classical concert hall, as well as popular songs that brought his work to an even wider public. His compositions have been used in numerous films and on television, and many became jazz standards recorded in numerous variations. Countless singers and musicians have recorded Gershwin songs.
