Lovely recording of this transcendental gem of music. Hats off to these fine musicians for doing it justice! Gershwin integrates (to my ear) classical, jazz and Latin elements into a happy but still poignant piece. I think he might have subtitled it as "Everything will be just fine".
Even better is the Montclaire String Quartet's performance ruclips.net/video/qDwIlk_wrWE/видео.html. They give the edges and bounce that the best lullabies have--and which the diverse George Gershwin wrote so well!
Great musical piece.❤
Brings water to my eyes. Gershwin was a genius!
Agreed

Among the great rock albums I had, this became one of my favorite pieces to listen to in 1972 (in college) - still is wondrous!
That’s gorgeous. This was composed in 1919, way before Rhapsody in Blue in 1924. One of the best lullabies imo !
He was a student of Rubin Goldmark, and this was a homework assignment.
Absolutely beautiful!
Gorgeous.
excellent
Beautiful performance!where we can find the score?
There is a quartet score with four parts available from a lot of music shops. Or online.

Beautiful! Is this the original version for string quartet or an arrangement for string orchestra?
Gershwin's original version is for string quartet. :)
The pizzicato bass part suggests it's the orchestral arrangement, as it's not in the string quartet version.
