At rise of curtain the night life of the court is revealed. ‘There is Ganeingy & mother sings a lullaby to her baby, and among the wen a crap game is in progress. Robbins enteraike game while his wife Serena begs him not to play. Jake the fisherman takes the baby from his wife Clava and sings to it. Peter, the honeyman enters calling his ‘wares Porgy enters, driving his goat cart, He is accused of loving Bess, the woman of the great stevedore Crown, but denies it. Crown and Bess arrive and join the evap game, Crown is drunk and quarrelsome In 4 At of Faye he attacks Robbins, They Might and Crown kills Robbins with his “cotton hook.” While Serena, the wite of the murdered man, mourns over the body, Grown es. capes. Sporting Life attempts to induce Boss £0 0 10 New York with him, but she refuses, and seeks sanetu ary in Porgy's room, The second scene is in Sereno oom. The body of the murdered man lies upon the bed, and upon his breast rests a large saucer. ‘The negroes 1g @ spiritual and urge each other to put money in the saucer for the burial. ‘Porgy and Bess artive and contribute, A detective arrives and tells Serena that if the body is not buried by the following day fe will be taken away and xiven to the medieal students: The de, tective arrests Peter as a witness to the killing and de: parts. The Negro undertaker enters and agrees to bury, the body for what little money they have. Overjeyed they all express thetr relief in song, ‘The second act shows the court at morning. Fisher- men are working at their tackle. Porgy, in he window, sings to Bess. Sporting Life enters peddle “happy dust,” and Maria, the keeper of the cook'shop adminis. ters'merited punishment. Frazier, a negro lawyer en: ters, and sells Bess a divorce from Crown so that she can marry Porgy. Mr. Archdale, a white lawyer comes to tell Porgy that Peter will be let out of jail Tie thon Yeprimands Frazier for selling fake divorees. A bu, tard flies over the court, which is an i omen, Sporting Life now tries 10 persuade Hess to take "happy dust but Porgy grabs him, almost byaaking his atm, and drives him away. Porgy’ and Bess sing of theit love for tach other. ‘This isthe day of the lodge piemie. aad now the band enters to lead the procession ‘The newroce swarm off to the pienie, Maria urzes Bess to Bor and after 4 moment's hesitation she accepts, Porgy fs left alone but happy in Catfish Row. ‘The piente party fs now upon Kittiwah Island, and are indulging in seeula dancing against the church's orders. Sporting Live sings and dances, and is interrupted by the entranes ef Serena who calls them all sinners and sends thes to the boat. Lett alone Bess now hears Crowns voice, He comes from the woods, breaks down her resistance and forces her to stay on the island with him. in thesext scene they have returned to Catfish Rowsand ite a Sew ays later. Jakedells Clara good-bye and the fishermen leave, Bess’ voice can be heard from Porgy’ roomy and she is evidently delirious. Serena lade prayey ter Bess’ recovery, Several street venders enter’ erying their wares, Bess, responding to the prayer, is batty and joins Porgy on the door step. She confesses that she has promised to join Crown when he comes out of hiding, but finally she breaks down, confesses her love for Potay and asks him to protect her from Crown, He ascures her that he will and she is safe with him. There ‘the ominous sound of the hurricane bell. Clara, inking of Jake who is at sea stands listening, then screams and falls in a faint. With a great noise the storm falls upon Catfish Row. In the next scene the Negroes are all gathered in Serena's room, ‘They are singing and praying, while outside the storm rages. Porgy and Bess sit together. They feel sure that Crown, could not have survived the storm on the island. Clara is watching at the window for some sign of the fisher men. The door bursts open and Crown enters, He taunts them with their fear and jibes at Porgy. In or- dor to drown out his blasphemy they all begin singing. ‘The storm rises to a terrific pitch, and Jake's boat, now @ wreck, is seen from the window, Clara gives her baby to Bess to keep for her and rushes into the storm to find her husband. Crown taunting the men for thelr cowardice rushes out to help her. As he goes he shouts at Bess that he will come back to get her. ‘The third act shows the court at night. In one of the rooms the women are singing a mourning spiritual for their dead in the storm. Maria is at her table, and Sporting Life slips in and goes to her. He intimates that Grown is still alive. From Porgy's room comes the sound of Bess’ voice singing to the baby. ‘The court is how quiet and deserted. Crown appears in the great gateway and sneaks toward Porgy’s room. Porgy atehes him as he is about to enter and with his power ful hands strangles him to death, ‘The following morn. ing the detective, the coroner, and the police enter. In a determined effort to discover Crown's murderer they interrogate the residents of the eourt. ‘The coroner de. mands that Porgy accompany him to identity Crown's body at the inquest. Filled with superstitious terror at the thought of looking on his vietim’s face Porgy refuses and is dragged away. Bess, weaping and distressed, is approached by Sporting Life who tries again to per~ suade her to go away with him. He offers her “happy dust” which she spurns. Sporting Life then leaves the little package of dope on the step to tempt her. After he is gone, she ean no longer resist, but opens the door, picks up the package and carries it into her room. It is now a week later and Porgy is returning from jail, He had refused to look on Crown, and had heen locked up for contempt of court. “He is in high spirits and has brought presents for ail of his friends, They stand around him, sad and embarrassed, but he does not notice, so engrossed is he with the presents that he has brought for Bess and the baby. ‘Then he cally Bess and she does not answer. Serena is holding a baby which he now recognizes as the one which had been given lo Bess by Clara. He pleads with them, and they tell him that, thinking him locked up forever, and seduced by Sporting Life, Bess has gone off to'New York. He asks how far it is to the great eity, and when he ix told that it is a thousand miles away, he calls for his xoat and cart, “His friends try to dissuade him, but he tells them that wherever she is he will find her. ‘Then he drives out of Catfish Row on his seareh.PORGY AND BESS GEORGE GERSHWIN Introduction Allegro con brio J-112 resoluto ¢ ben marcato PIANO SS Copyright 1885 by Gershwin Publishing Corporation, New York, N. ¥.
