經典老歌--Summertime
Scarlet and Blues Quartet正演奏Summertime
Chico and Tim正彈奏Summertime
Summertime,是美國音樂劇Porgy and Bess裡的歌曲,由George Gershwin作曲、Ira Gershwin和DuBose Heyward作曲。
第一次聽到Summertime這首歌,應該是在「黃俊雄布袋戲」裡。
每次劇中的某個角色(早已不復記憶了!)出現前,一定會先播放這首歌。
後來這首歌也收錄在「西洋老式情歌專輯」,聽它多遍後,自然而然地就會唱了!
在夏天,White Rock海邊所舉辦的Waterfront Concert Series裡,不同的樂團都不約而同的選奏(唱)這首歌,一來,它是經典作品、容易引起聽眾的共鳴;二來,夏日的海邊,海風徐徐、遊人如織,這首歌最是應景!
不論是「Pacific Showtime Chorus」的Cappella唱法,「Chico and Tim」雙人吉他彈奏,或者是「Scarlet and Blues Quartet」的四重奏,表現的方式雖不同,卻是一樣好聽,真不愧是經典老歌!
Summer的歌詞:
Summertime, and the living is easy
Fish are jumping, and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich, and your mamma's good looking
So hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings, you're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky
But till that morning, there's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by
Summertime, and the living is easy
Fish are jumping, and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich, and your mamma's good looking
So hush little baby, don't you cry
