The simple melody of this famous hymn is treated to lush harmonizations and searing emotion. In this arrangement, the tune is heard in its entirety three times, each time becoming more impassioned. Between each iteration of the hymn, the composer includes original material that serves to bridge the ardent treatment of the multiple verses. After a change of key, the climax of the work is delayed and extended before the music evaporates back into its simplest and purest form. Amazing Grace is a wonderful vehicle for increasing the musicality of the young intermediate band.

By Timothy Loest. Intermediate Wind Band/Ensemble. FJH Developing Band. Antiphonal Celebration is based on the tune Llanfair by Welsh composer Robert Williams (1781-1821). Llanfair follows a simple form (AABA), which is common to 19th century Welsh hymn tunes. The title Antiphonal Celebration describes the nature of this piece. It is a joyous festival work that utilizes a technique known as antiphony. Antiphony occurs when the trumpet section states a question phrase. The band then replies with an answer phrase. Score for this title: B1310S. Extra part for this title: B1310P. Concert Band. Level: 1.5. Score and Set of Parts. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc.
