Sung by the talented Emily Rossum for the film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Phantom of the Opera” – the song “Angel of Music” is an understated tune, offering one the most memorable melodic hooks from the score.
It’s lovely to play on any instrument, whimsical and bouncy, great fun for beginners and intermediates – enjoy! 🙂
