General Information

Title: Amazing Grace
Composer: Joel Hunsberger
Lyricist: John Newton
Number of voices: 4vv   Voicing: SATB
Genre: SacredHymn

Language: English

First published: 1996
Description: This work is an SATB presentation based on a piano solo arrangement of the traditional hymn 'Amazing Grace.'

Each of 4 stanzas is interpreted in a differing style, and rather than using a majestic ending, it ends in a somewhat dissonant, pensive mood, reflecting great expectations and longing to be free, with victory and rejoicing in sight, but not here yet.
