Amazing Grace
Publisher Desc.
Amazing Grace - This classic hymn has played a beloved role in American
history for generations and is recognizable all around the world. Here, in an
inspiring new setting for young concert band, virtually every instrument gets
an opportunity to play the melody. Unison clarinets (or an optional solo
clarinet) open this arrangement by stating the melody in the key of concert
Bb. As the arrangement unfolds, all of the low instruments are featured on
the melody in the key of concert F. Following an impressive band tutti in the
key of concert Eb, the music winds down as the melody is passed around from
section to section and the arrangement concludes with a couple of surprise
chords, finally fading into a whisper. Ample cross-cuing and a rehearsal
piano part are provided for smaller bands missing instrumentation. Perfect
for a second or third year band, and even playable at the end of the school
year by an outstanding beginning band! Approximately a Grade 1 i or 2.
