Rhapsody In Blue is a major addition to the woodwind quintet repertoire.This version of Rhapsody In Blue includes a score and five parts and has been arranged for Flute Oboe Clarinet in B-flat Horn in F and Bassoon at an intermediate playing level.Many people know the famous Clarinet glissando opening to Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue but very few know that the original version was scored for two Pianos and that the glissando was initially just an ascending scale.Joachim Linckelmann’s superb arrangement of this modern classic is based on this original version and with the exception oftwo solo Piano passages that cannot be realised by a woodwind quintet the entire work is presented.

The arrangement was commissioned and recorded by 'Prisma' (members of the Vienna Philharmonic and Vienna Symphonic Orchestras). It can also be heard on 'That's Brass' (Oculus Brass Quintet, FMCD 90101). Medium / Brass quintet (2 trompettes, Cor, Trombone, Tuba)

George Gershwin (1898-1937) commença sa carrière de musicien dans les milieux du music-hall avant d?être admis dans la sphère ?classique? grâce au succès retentissant de Rhapsody in Blue (1924). Naohiro Iwai conjugue quatre chansons de cet éblouissant pianiste de jazz et mélodiste de génie dans un medley enchanteur et pétillant.

George Gershwin???s music combines musical styles heard in the United States at the beginning of this century such as jazz and blues with aspects of European classical music. Gershwin???s breakthrough came in 1924 with Rhapsody in Blue. Following several versions of this piece Gershwin made what is probably the best known arrangement - for piano and symphony orchestra. Takahashi has created a further new and exciting version for wind orchestra.

Michael Sweeney's arrangement for developing bands pays tribute to America's legendary song writer George Gershwin. Strike Up The Band Summertime and Rhapsody In Blue are skillfully arranged in this superb concert number.

I Got Rhythm est une chanson irrésistible composée par George Gershwin (1898-1937) sur des paroles de son frère Ira pour la comédie musicale Girl Crazy (1930). I Got Rhythm deviendra par la suite un des plus grands standards du jazz et sera repris par de nombreux artistes. La grille harmonique du morceau (également appelée rhythm changes) est devenue la structure la plus jouée par les jazzmen.
