I MARRIED AN ANGEL - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Lorenz Hart in 1938 for the musical of the same name, "i married an angel" was first performed by Dennis King and Vivienne Segal in New York. The song quickly gained popularity in both Broadway and radio performances.

The lyrics playfully explore the idea of idealized romance and whimsical devotion, with Hart's signature wit and charm. Musically, it features a light, lilting melody over elegant, carefully structured harmonies, suited for both vocalists and small ensemble arrangements.

Notable revivals include recordings by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and various Broadway casts, highlighting its continued theatrical and musical appeal.
