Amazing Grace/Pachelbel's Canon—

pairing of Amazing Grace with the beloved baroque
classic, Pachelbel's Canon! The baroque canon

rich part writing, closing in inventive counterpoint
with the canon bass line, the Amazing Grace
melody, and a soaring soprano descant "Alleluia."
Inventive and very creative!
