Sweet Crushed Angel/My Funny Valentine - Craig Hella Johnson Choral Series

Setting the words of the 14th century Persian poet Hafiz and arranging the classic "My Funny Valentine" creates a dialogue between the Divine and the human heart. Both texts and the music highlight the quirky and odd aspects of being human and the heart's need to know love and to be loved. Each melody is introduced separately by soloists, then harmonized alone and finally juxtaposed to lift up the dialogue and bring it to completion.
