Amazing Grace—arr. Scott Watson. One
of the most enduring and beloved songs
known the world over, Amazing Grace
means many things to many people. The
tune, a pentatonic folk song known as
New Britain among other names, evolved
separately from the famous 18th-century
hymn text by John Newton with which it
eventually became associated. For some,
hearing or singing the song gives strength
during trials; for others, it is a promise of
hope and a balm of comfort at a funeral;
for others still, it is a reminder of their
frail humanity, yet with the possibility of
forgiveness and mercy. This heartfelt
setting - employing fresh contemporary
harmonies, a rapturous modulation,
and reflective closing moments -casts
new light on the centuries-old melody. A
perfect lyrical ballad for your intermediate
band. (2:50)

and colorful. (5:10)
