Responding to the unrelenting insistence of the “catchy tune” Summertime from George Gershwin’s opera Porgy and Bess, these summer inspirations for 12 cellists with an optional double bass are the result. Images like this appear in the mind's eye

... a summer like it used to be
...a Midsummer Night's Dream
... a short but refreshing swim in the brook (Germ.: Bach)
... the blue from the sky

The political and economic “silly season” known as the “summer slump” in the sense of vacuum is also given a musical tribute here.
