Review:      Refresh your vision of this beloved tune with "Amazing Grace 1" – playable as a 1-octave Bell Tree Solo, a 4iH Duet, or an 8-Bell Ensemble ("A" uses G5-G6 and "B" uses C6-C7) with piano or harp accompaniment. Bells and accompaniment work together to weave a lovely tapestry: Section one showcases the melody on Bell Tree with a very simple piano part; Part 2 enlivens the tune with an obbligato part on the Bell Tree and the melody and a stronger rhythmic statement on piano; Part 3 is bolder yet, with richer chording and some harmonic interest.

Written as a first-experience Bell Tree piece for an adept ringer, the patterns in the Bell Tree sound complex but are easy to learn. It’s perfect for any part of a worship service. Notes on setting up a Bell Tree and practicing at home are included. The entire folio is reproducible, allowing all musicians to take their parts home to practice without splitting up the master score.

Part of the First String Series from ringTrue handbell Music, which showcases Bell Tree pieces on one octave, more or less. This score is compatible with the "Amazing Grace" trio-to-ensemble score (RE56852AB – Purple cover) and full choir score (RE56853AB – Blue cover), making this piece ideal for events with multiple choirs, festivals, or conferences – allowing all groups to select the setting that best fits them. Note: All groups must agree on either the "A" setting or the "B" setting to be in the same key.
