Amazing Grace (unaccompanied violin) MO174

Unaccompanied Violin

Music by Mark O?Connor

2 pages - 3:00 minutes in length



Amazing Grace is a centuries-old hymn whose melody comes from a 500 year-old pipe tune before coming to South Carolina. In the early 1800s, South Carolina choral master William Walker paired it with the lyrics of slave ship captain John Newton?s lyric ?Amazing Grace?. O?Connor?s unaccompanied arrangement in the key of F major with double stops and grace notes has become a violin favorite for decades and appears on his Sony Classical release?Midnight On The Water?. The music is suitable for the advanced level.

This violin & piano arrangement is designed for the success of novice collaborators or busy musicians. Each performer spends time with both the melody and tasteful accompaniment parts. Although elegantly simple, the music presents three variations to focus the mind on the message of this beloved hymn. Performance time is approximately 1:35.

Any gigging string group knows that this song is a ubiquitous request during wedding season, so be prepared to help your clients make amazing memories with this beautiful arrangement of "Can't Help Falling In Love"! This lush, romantic version of the Elvis classic for two-violin and cello trio is full of gorgeous layered harmonies and will be great for ceremonies, cocktails, or even proposals. Intermediate-level arrangement is easily playable for students and sightreadable for professionals.

This is about grade three standard upwards.

I have added a violin two part, which is the same as the viola part, for if you do not have a viola player.
