See all formats and editions

Summertime In B Minor is an arrangement of George Gershwin's piece Summertime for piano and voice with guitar chords, in the original key. Gershwin began composing Summertime in December 1933, attempting to create his own spiritual in the style of the African American folk music of the period.

Summertime is sung multiple times throughout his opera, Porgy and Bess, and like The Beatles' Yesterday, is one of the most often covered songs in popular music, with almost 3,000 different versions recorded.
