After he had survived a heavy sea storm, John Newton (1725-1807), captain of a slave ship, became a priest and from then on he fought for the abolition of slavery. During his tenure he wrote several hymns, of which Amazing Grace certainly is the best known. The melody assumedly derives from a song by the African slaves. Takashi Hoshide has written a compelling arrangement of this beautiful melody.

Nachdem er einen heftigen Seesturm glücklich überlebt hatte, wurde John Newton (1725-1807), der bis dato Kapitän eines Sklavenschiffs gewesen war, Pfarrer und kämpfte fortan für die Abschaffung der Sklaverei. Während seiner Amtszeit schrieb er mehrere Kirchenlieder, von denen Amazing Grace sicherlich das bekannteste ist. Vermutlich stammt die Melodie von einem Lied der afrikanischen Sklaven. Takashi Hoshide schuf ein unwiderstehliches Arrangement für Blasorchester dieser schönen Melodie.

Après avoir survécu une violente tempête en mer, John Newton (1725-1807), marin de commerce et capitaine de navire négrier, devient pasteur et lutte pour l’abolition de l’esclavage. Durant son ministère, il écrivit plusieurs hymnes, dont l’intemporel Amazing Grace. Il est fort probable que l’air vienne d’une mélodie chantée par des esclaves africains. L’arrangement de Takashi Hoshide est purement irrésistible.

Dopo essere sopravissuto ad una violenta tempesta in mare, John Newton (1725-1807), capitano della propria nave e mercante di schiavi, divenne pastore e cominciò a battersi per l’abolizione della schiavitù. Scrisse diversi inni, il più celebre dei quali è Amazing Grace. L’aria è probabilmente ripresa da una melodia cantata dagli schiavi.

Originally composed for solo organ, Hailstork’s fanfare is a 3½-minute explosion of joyous sound inspired by the Baroque-era tradition of Chorale Preludes. As in Bach’s organ preludes, the familiar hymn’s phrases broadly emerge from ornate counterpoint, here in the form of brass fanfares. The result is exhilarating! Also scored by Hailstork for chamber ensemble and for orchestra, FANFARE ON AMAZING GRACE was transcribed for concert band in January 2021 by MGySgt Don Patterson, staff arranger for “The President’s Own” United States Military Band, for that ensemble’s worldwide broadcast performance at the 2021 Presidential Inauguration.

English.

This stunning and emotional work is based on the single word grace. Largely original, the music weaves a tapestry of solitude, tension, patience and peace. Toward the end of the work, the melody of Amazing Grace emerges subtly and draws the audience in further. An emotional rollercoaster that explores great musical depth.
