Three Preludes (Prelude I, II and III)

Three Preludes (Prelude I, II and III) George Gershwin / Arr. Anders Widestrand

Serie / Series: LEMA Musikförlag
These three short pieces was originally written for solo piano and performed for the first time by the composer in New York in 1926. Each prelude is a well known example of early 20th-century american classical music, strongly influenced by jazz.
Gershwin originally planned to compose 24 preludes for solo piano but for various reasons, only these three saw the light of day.
Of the three preludes, no. 2 in c minor is the most famous one. Gershwin himself described it as ".... a sort of blues lullaby", a good description of an andante piece written in a slow, jazzy style.
The arrangement by Anders Wiedestrand gives the whole band both musical- and technical challenges. The beautiful main theme in prelude 2 is presented by a flugelhorn solo.


[NO]Disse tre korte stykkene ble opprinnelig skrevet for solo piano og urfremført av komponisten i New York i 1926. Hvert av de tre preludene er gode eksempler på det tyvende århundrets amerikanske klassiske musikk med sine tydelige jazz-inspirasjoner.
Gershwin hadde opprinnelig planlagt å komponere hele 24 preluder for piano solo men av ulike årsakeer var det kun disse tre som så dagens lys.
Av de tre preludiene er det definitivt nr. 2 i c moll som er det aller mest kjente. Gershwin selv beskrev det som ".... a sort of blues lullaby" og passer godt med sin andante tempo-betegnelse og rolige jazz-stil.
Arrangementet av Anders Widestrand gir både tekniske og musikalske utfordringer i de fleste gruppene. Flygelhorn solo i prelude nr. 2.
