Obs.:This score presents the hymn Amazing Grace in an arrangement for Alto voice with piano accompaniment. This piece is a Christian hymn about wonder and gratefulness.
The melody is pentatonic, and the lyrics were written in 1772 by John Newton, a former slave trader who had converted to Christianity. The hymn is about divine grace; it is based on 1 Chronicles 17:16-17, a prayer of King David in which he marvels at God's choosing him and his house. It's believed that Newton wrote this hymn for his 1773 New Year's Day sermon; he then entitled the piece Faith's Review and Expectations. This hymn conveys a powerful message and bears strong references to human rights and freedom.
Included: Full score and separated parts for each instrument.
