A classic from the golden age of the show tune, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes is a soulful and sophisticated number originally written by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach for the musical Roberta . Over the years the song has been covered by Bryan Ferry, Jerry Garcia, and was a 1958 chart topping hit on both sides of the Atlantic for doo wop group, The Platters. With a deep dynamic range and rich, floating harmonies, this luxurious choral arrangement by Chris Hussey for SAB chorus with piano accompaniment, is a beautifully re-imagined new take on a timeless song. Full of engrossing tension and dramatic relief that swells up through thick, complex chords and a memorable lead line, this is a must perform piece for amateur-intermediate choirs. / Sab Et Piano
