Amazing Grace
Publisher Desc.
One of the world's most loved songs, this arrangement was
specially commissioned for the Nidaros Cathedral Boysi and
Menis Choir of Trondheim, Norway for their 2019 Asia Tour.
The World Premiere of this song was on 5 October 2019 in
Kaohsiung Weiwuying Concert Hall, Taiwan.
Its text, a poem written in 1772 by
John Newton, describes the
joy and peace of a soul uplifted
from despair to salvation
through the gift of grace.
The first verse in this arrangement may be sung by a soloist, or
by all the upper voices. The second features the tenors and
basses in four-part harmony, and this is followed by an SATB
a cappella verse 3. The final verse, ideally reinforced by the
organ, brings the piece to a triumphant climax, although the
closing bars return to a softer statement of the words, iHow
sweet the sound!i
