"Summertime" was
written as light opera, sultry, slow, southern,  dripping with a sense of
time and place.  Many interpretations of  summertime, and not just
Christelle's, take it out the bayou and transplant  it to Manhattan or Vegas.
But, does the performer owe the composer a duty  to respect his intent for
his music?  Is any consideration due the  sound the composer had in his head
when wrote the song?
