Back to the ’30s, where maybe we haven’t been until now with our sheets, today we bring in front of you a special song - It Ain't Necessarily So, by George Gershwin.
George Gershwin was an American composer, pianist, and artist, singing mostly classical and popular music.
He was famous for his piano talent, Broadway theatre compositions, and movie scores.
George Gershwin’s most famous songs are Rhapsody in Blue 0 1924, An American in Paris – 1928, Embraceable You – 1928 or It Ain't Necessarily So.
We went way back in the music history to find the free It Ain't Necessarily So piano sheets for you, so you should try it at your own piano at home.
The song’s music was composed by George Gershwin and the lyrics were written by Ira Gershwin, the brother of George.
The roots of the song are in the opera act named Porgy and Bess from 1935, by George Gershwin, and also in the Jewish blessings.
In the opera, the free It Ain't Necessarily So piano sheet music was interpreted by the character Sportin’ Life, who was a drug dealer, and it also served as a theme for the character.
He expressed his doubt about some statements in the Bible.
The Jewish influences of the song occur at the beginning of It Ain't Necessarily So, the melody and the phrasing being almost identical to the blessing enchanted before reading from the Torah.
Influences are also in the title and in the motif which repeats multiple times- It Ain't Necessarily So, words that stand in place for Bar’chu et Adonai ham’vorach.
Because of its amazing success, It Ain't Necessarily So has been covered by many artists over the years.
Notable versions of the song are the ones sung by Leo Reisman- 1935, Aretha Franklin – 1960, or Bobby Darin in 1959.
