HL Amazing Grace—arr. Jack Schrader. Absolutely
inspired! Jack's perspective on this beloved melody
is to use a slow, gospel style. The authentic piano
accompaniment has all the piano licks you could
possibly want, and supports the arrangement just as
well as the marvelous orchestral track. In a creative
twist, the last verse features the instruments on the
melody as the choir acts as "back-up singers" to
the piano. Part of our American heritage, Amazing
Grace is a hymn everyone knows, and this
arrangement adds a richness to the melody that
you simply must hear to appreciate.

Truly fun to sing, this arrangement sounds just the
way the song should always be sung. Easy.

In this dynamic arrangement of the Huddie

strong rhythmic pulse and harmonic energy that is
characteristic of the Lead Belly style. To intensify
the driving pulse of the chorus, it is suggested that
percussion instruments (shaker, guiro, high drum
and low drum) and body percussion be added. This
creative programming gem will provide a marvelous
contrast on your next concert or festival.
