CGA1269 Amazing Grace
Description
Sandra Eithun's arrangement of Amazing Grace was originally written as a solo song, but easily translates to a unison choir piece. The familiar "New Britain" tune is harmonized by an elegant and distinctive piano accompaniment which moves the piece from the traditional hymn to a usable choral anthem. This is an ideal piece to pick up in a small amount of rehearsal time, and will still have a dynamic impact in your worship service.
Voicing: Unison with piano
Text: John Newton, 1725-1807
Composer: W. Walker, Southern Harmony, 1835
Arranger: Sandra Eithun
