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.
