Amazing Grace/Pachelbel's Canonarr. Jean
Anne Shafferman. Here is a marvelous pairing
of Amazing Grace with the beloved baroque
classic, Pachelbel's Canon! The baroque canon
accompanies as the voices sing Amazing Grace in
4/4. Opening with unison voices, it flows easily to
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!
