Review:
George Gershwin's immortal classic comes to life in this arrangement for 5-6 octaves of bells. This requires a choir that has learned (or is willing to learn) weaving techniques in playing chromatic movement - this work abounds with accidentals. The work is 194 measures in length with several sections and tempo changes. A few special techniques are called for.
