Dear Adam,
I have the University Society, Inc. publication called "Music by Gershwin"
(1976).
My version has the Verse (sung once) followed by the Refrain (sung twice)
with really only the piano changing in the second ending last two bars.
My copy has the markings as : VERSE Allegro Moderato (con moto) REFRAIN
is marked p - f a tempo (molto legato)
Hope this is helpful,
Vivian (Gabriola, BC)

Subject: [vocalist-temporary] REP: George Gershwin's "Somebody Loves Me"
Hi!
I'm going to attempt to sing George Gershwin's "Somebody Loves Me"
for my Vocal Exam this year but the version I have is so confusing. It
opens with two verses, then there's a repeat sign for the refrain, followed
by the refrain, 1st end., 2nd end..
INTRO-V1/2-(rept.)REFRAIN-[1st ending][2nd ending](double bar)
How do I sing this song? When do I do the 2nd verse 'cause it's not in the
repeat and there's no D.S. al Fine or something.
Also, what tempos should I use? It's marked as"Allegro moderato" at
the beginning and the refrain has "molto legato" in brackets. Should the
refrain be as fast as the verses and what MM would anyone suggest?
For those who may have it, the arrangement is in Chappell Music's
"The Best of George Gershwin" on p.29.
