Grade 3

SKU: CL.CTS-8044-00

Composed by Claude T. Smith. Arranged by Earp. Concert Band. Score and set of parts. Composed 2023. Claude T. Smith Publications #CTS-8044-00. Published by Claude T. Smith Publications (CL.CTS-8044-00).

Amazing Grace is one of the most well-known spiritual songs known to date. Claude T. Smith cleverly created this band setting forming variations throughout. With Smith’s passing in December of 1987, this was one of the final works he produced. This flexible arrangement allows ensembles to perform the work with as few as fourteen musicians providing accessibility and flexibility for numerous instrumentation needs, while still allowing a full ensemble sound. *The posted recording is based on the full band scoring but aligns with the suggested preferences for either woodwinds/strings or brass suggested in the score.

Band concert band - Grade 4

SKU: KJ.B383F

Composed by John Zdechlik. Score. Neil A. Kjos Music Company #B383F. Published by Neil A. Kjos Music Company (KJ.B383F).

This theme and variation is based upon the well-known hymn Amazing Grace. The first variation states the melody playfully in the piccolo and trumpet parts. The second variant is more angular and powerful and takes the theme through more dissonant harmonic configurations. In the third variant the theme is stated in the low reeds and is surrounded by a potpourri of trills, glissandos and other dissonant effects. The last section combines variations and builds to a dramatic finale.
