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.
