Variations on Porgy and Bess - Eric Sammut. Conrado Moya, marimba

Conrado Moya, marimba and percussion soloist, performs Variations on Porgy and Bess by the French composer and marimbist Eric Sammut. This work is part of "Silentium", Conrado Moya's first marimba solo album.

Variations on Porgy and Bess was composed by Eric Sammut in 2004. The piece is an arragement based on some of the most popular songs from George and Ira Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess, such as the Overture, It Ain't Necessarily So, I Loves You Porgy or the very well-known Summertime. Nonetheless, Sammut's appreciation of music of all genres led him to use for this Variations not only the original parts of the opera, but also some others from the version by The Gil Evans Orchestra with Miles Davis as soloist. As a result, in the words of Sammut, this piece is "a mix of classic and jazz sound, which gives to this arrangement its originality." The score is published by Keyboard Percussion Publications.

Stay tuned for new releases!
