The Jazz Opera "Porgy And Beth" Excerpt "Summer Time" Appeared Four Times For Singing Analysis

In the 20th century,the social status of black people in America was not high,but because of the spiritual crisis brought about by the First World War,the tradition of "wasteland" came from Thomas Stearns Eliot's long poem "The Waste Land" [Wang Jingyu.Reshaping "tradition" and saving "the wasteland"-T.S.Eliot's new exploration of poetry thought.Sichuan Normal University.Master's degree.2014.] Eliot's The Waste Land mainly reflects the decline of Western civilization caused by the general pessimistic disappointment and spiritual poverty in the West after the First World War.In his poems,Eliot implies that only rich spiritual food can save this phenomenon,which makes people yearn for freedom,while the strength of black people's original life,that is,the hope for life,makes black people yearn for freedom.Humanistic culture prevailed in the circle of culture and art at that time.Gershwin,as a native Broadway composer in the United States,wrote many jazz music.This "Boggy and Beth" was written in his peak period.Many Arias have become the representative works of American national music.Among them,"Summer Time" has a high degree of popularity.This song has appeared four times in this work,the first three characters are the same,and the fourth change of characters.Between the four times,there are specific differences in plot,story background and singing treatment,which need further analysis.
