They Can’t Take That Away From Me

By sheet music sales No Comments

We’ve just added our duet arrangement of Gershwin’s song They Can’t Take That Away From Me to our online shop. It comes from the musical Shall We Dance, which was made into a film with Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire in 1937.

Here are the words
 ” The way you wear your hat, the way you sip your tea, the memory of all that, No, no they can’t take that away from me”   You can choose whether to interpret this sadly or in a more upbeat way, but being about memory it has a  sense of nostalgia.

Bess, You Is My Woman Now

By sheet music sales No Comments

We’re just finishing editing our violin and cello duet of Gershwin’s beautiful love song  Bess, You Is My Woman Now. Like Summertime this song comes from Gershwin’s only opera Porgy and Bess. When it was first performed in 1934 the work caused  controversy as the dark plot – featuring violence, prostitution, drugs and poverty – was  thought by some to be an unfair characterisation of the black community. Nevertheless the opera contains some of Gershwin’s finest work and is full of character and feeling.
