Angels Singing Out of Tune
"Joan Szymko's setting turns the sense of Byron's poem on its head. She imagines a heaven where frazzled angels never rest: the lurching rhythms and goofy chromatics of the heavenly choir showcase a soprano soloist who spins out of control." - Mary Lycan, editor, Treble Clef Press

Angels Singing Out of Tune
Lord Byron (1788-1824)
The Angels were all singing out of tune,
And hoarse with having little else to do,
excepting to wind up the sun and moon
Or curb a runaway young star or two
- excerpt from Canto II of Vision of Judgement
