Recordings of the piece have been made by Billie Holiday, Chet Baker, Joshua Bell, Carol Burnett, Bobby ensembles – touring with them to Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

In my composition—which is not based on any folksong or popular tune—the “immovable Do” is a high drone on C which is sounded throughout the whole piece. From the very start (in 1933) I conceived the number for any or all of the following mediums, singly or combined: for organ (or reed organ), for mixed chorus, for wind band or wind groups, for full or small orchestra, for string orchestra or 8 single strings. It seemed natural for me to plan it simultaneously for these different mediums, seeing that such music hinges upon intervalic appeal rather than upon effects of tone-color. Gershwin! George Gershwin possessed a gift for composing works with a distinctive melody that has hardly ever been equaled. Fascinating Rhythm, from "Lady be Good" (1924), starts off this enjoyable medley of his earlier tunes arranged by well known composer and Hollywood arranger, Warren Barker (b. 1923). The 1930 production of "Girl Crazy" gives us the next number, Embraceable You and the finale I Got Rhythm. Somebody Loves Me was a contribution to "George White's Scandals of 1924." The romantic theme is continued with Someone to Watch Over Me from "Oh Kay" (1926).

Shepherd’s Hey! The air on which Shepherd’s Hey! is based was collected by Cecil J. Sharpe. In some agricultural districts in England teams of “Morris Men,” decked out with jingling bells and other finery, can still be seen dancing to such traditional tunes as Shepherd’s Hey!, which are played on the fiddle or on the “pipe and tabor” (a sort of fife and drum).
