"Gershwinicity is a fantasia based on five Gershwin songs. Strong jazz elements infuse the music and the solo writing has an improvisatory quality. It is a 成人快手 commission and a world premiere.
The piece opens with 鈥楲et鈥檚 Call the Whole Thing Off鈥�, a lively swing number for the trumpet soloist. This is interrupted by a brief and noisy street scene that sets the mood for 鈥楢 Foggy Day in London Town鈥�, a sassy blues for euphonium. The alto saxophone picks up the pace with a jazzfunk style version of 鈥楩ascinating Rhythm鈥�. A sudden change of mood introduces 鈥楨mbraceable You鈥� for clarinet, one of the classic Gershwin love songs."
