Review:
"Amazing Grace" is a lovely setting of the beloved hymn, incorporating Grace Greater Then Our Sin, for 2-3 octave beginning handbell choir. It is appropriate for worship services and special occasions. There are several articulations that must be executed carefully: swing, echo, and thumb damp. Dynamics are very important in ringing musically and sensitively. Strive for dynamic contrasts and precise ringing/damping technique while paying close attention to the melodies throughout - let them sing. This rendition is arranged in C Major and is 87 measures.
