Product Description

As a notoriously unreligious British sailor actively involved in the Atlantic slave trade, John Newton led an immoral life. In 1748, his vessel was tossed about in a storm so violently that a crewmemberwho was standing where Newton had been moments beforewas swept overboard to his death. The crew spent hours emptying water from the ship during the storm, suspecting that a shipwreck was imminent. While struggling for some very long hours, Newton cried out to God for mercy. The ship was battered and the crew starving, but they eventually arrived on dry land. Some time after this near-death experience, John Newton devoted his life to becoming an Anglican clergyman, later penning the words of Amazing Grace. The poem was set to several different melodies before being paired with the popularized traditional tune we recognize today. Primarily in 9/8 time, this arrangement features the melody in the clarinet 1 part. The accompanying parts contain a bagpipe-like drone and develop into lilting countermelodies and unique harmonies.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
