Thereâ??s a Boat Datâ??s Leavinâ?? Soon for New York/It Ainâ??t Necessarily So/Summertime/I Got Plenty o' Nuttinâ?? is a song from the American opera Porgy and Bess, composed in 1935 by George Gershwin (1898-1937), to a libretto by DuBose Heyward and his brother Ira Gershwin, after Heywardâ??s novel Porgy - a story about the love between the crippled negro beggar Porgy and the girl Bess in the city of Charleston in South Carolina. The première - not a huge success - took place on 10 October 1935 in New York.With his opera, Gershwin wanted to gain recognition as a composer of classical music. Incidentally he demanded that all parts were sung by black performers; only a few unimportant parts,without sung lyrics, were allowed to be performed by white actors. This rule still applies: Gershwin has stated in the terms of his will that only black people were allowed stage the opera.Porgy and Bess has become popular only after Gershwinâ??s death. In 1959 a wonderful film was made; the soundtrack won a Grammy Award. The work is not very often performed, possibly because of the difficulty of finding a whole cast of black opera singers. However, various pieces from the opera are still regularly performed in numerous arrangements. I Got Plenty o' Nuttin' ist ein Lied aus der amerikanischen Oper Porgy and Bess die George Gershwin im 1935 komponierte.Das Libretto lieferten DuBose Heyward und Georges Bruder Ira Gershwin nach Heywards Roman Porgy, einer Geschichte über die Liebe zwischen dem verkrüppelten schwarzen Bettler Porgy und dem Mädchen Bess in Charleston im Staat South Carolina.

Rikudim (Hebrew for Dances) is a four-part dance suite based on Jewish music. By using eastern intervals and irregular time changes, the composer succeeds in creating a slightly melancholy but specifically Jewish flavoured piece.Rikudim (Hebreeuws voor â??dansenâ??) is een vierdelige suite van op joodse muziek gebaseerde dansen. Door het gebruik van oosters aandoende toonafstanden en onregelmatige maatsoorten is de componist erin geslaagd om enerzijds een vleugjemelancholie en anderzijds een specifiek joods tintje in deze muziek te verweven. De duidelijk omlijnde themaâ??s en de soms verrassende, maar soms ook weer natuurlijk overkomende harmonisaties geven deze â??gestileerde volksdansenâ?? een directezeggingskracht.Die vierteilige Suite Rikudim (hebräisch für Tanzenâ??) besteht aus von der jüdischen Musik inspirierten Tänzen. Durch den Gebrauch von orientalisch anmutenden Tonintervallen und unregelmäÃ?igen Taktarten ist es dem Komponisten gelungen, indieser Musik einerseits einen Hauch Melancholie, andererseits spezifisch jüdische Elemente miteinander zu verschmelzen. Die deutlich bestimmten Themen und die bisweilen sehr überraschenden und natürlichen Harmonien bewirken, dass diese stilisiertenVolkstänze ihre Botschaft sehr direkt vermitteln.Rikudim (de lhébreu rikud, danse) est une suite de quatre danses originales inspirées de la musique traditionnelle juive. Lutilisation dune structure tonale orientale, lintroduction de mesures irréguliéres et la richesse sonore delorchestration apportent cette Å?uvre une teinte mélancolique mais surtout une grande authenticité. Les thémes trés inspirés sont clairement différenciés. Lharmonisation quelquefois surprenante sans jamais être dénaturée confére ces quatredanses originales juives une grande richesse dexpression.

Jupiter Hymn is a beautiful, easy-to-play arrangement from the wonderful fourth movement of the seven-part orchestral suite The Planets by Gustav Holst: Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity. Holst took inspiration for this suite?one of his best-known works?from the astrological aspect of the planets rather than their astronomical or physical characteristics. Holst wrote The Planets at the beginning of the 20th century, at a time when certain features of the work, such as exotic time signatures (5/4), dissonances and unusual instrumentation were uncommon.Jupiter Hymn is een mooie, eenvoudig speelbare bewerking van het schitterende vierde deel uit de zevendelige orkestsuite The Planets van Gustav Holst: â??Jupiter - The Bringer of Jollityâ??. Holst liet zich voor de suite, een van zijn bekendste werken, inspireren door het astrologische karakter van de planeten, en dus niet op de astronomische of fysische eigenschappen. Hij schreef The Planets aan het begin van de 20e eeuw. Voor die tijd in het oog springende bijzonderheden zijn de toepassing van ongebruikelijke instrumenten, de ongewone maatsoorten (5/4) en de dissonante samenklanken.Jupiter Hymn ist eine schöne, einfach spielbare Bearbeitung aus dem glanzvollen vierten Satz der siebenteiligen Orchester-Suite The Planets von Gustav Holst: Jupiter - The Bringer of Jollity. Holst lieÃ? sich für dese Suite, die eines seiner bekanntesten Werke ist, von dem astrologischen Aspekt der Planeten inspirieren und nicht von deren astronomischen oder physischen Eigenschaften. Er schrieb The Planets zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Auffällig für seine Zeit waren die Verwendung ungebräuchlicher Instrumente, ungewöhnlicher Taktarten (5/4) und Dissonanzen.Jupiter Hymn est un arrangement délicieusement accessible du quatrième mouvement extrait du poème symphonique en sept mouvements The Planets (Les Planètes) de Gustave Holst : Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity (Jupiter, celui qui apporte la gaieté). Holst sâ??inspira de notre système solaire lorsquâ??il composa cette suite, lâ??une de ses ?uvres les plus connues, donnant chacun des mouvements sa propre couleur. Holst écrivit Les Planètes au début du XXe siècle, employant une certaine signature alors inhabituelle (mesures 5/4), faisant appel de nombreuses dissonances et une instrumentation atypique.
