Amazing Grace never sounded so sweet! After a traditional chorale opening things get cookin’ with a modern salsa groove. While a great opportunity to feature your rhythm section the winds also have their chance to shine with an unaccompanied soli section. A written solo is provided for alto sax and this one will work with reduced instrumentation. You’ve heard this tune in a dixie style — now add a little Latin spice for a sizzling performance! (3:15)

How Sweet the Sound, a powerful work by Brian Balmages, explores a multitude of soundscapes and styles as the lyrical melody to Amazing Grace slowly unfolds. Largely original, the music draws heavily on gospel styles interspersed with contemporary harmonies, soaring fanfares, and a wash of beautiful colors. The ending will take your breath away. Stunning. (6:20).
