Amazing Grace (Arr: Orchestra & Choir)

I'm not fully sure why I did this song next, but for some reason it's been in my head the last couple of days (I think it's because a film is coming out with this name.) This is my own version of the traditional folk song which is probably known around most of the world, especially Scotland and Ireland. I've went and used pretty much the entire orchestra.

Starting off I wanted to do a nice soft sound sweep, using 9ths and 11th chords to give it that sound scaping texture, especially on the pad and choir... then the piano gently leads it in. I've got my own self made breaks and bridges in there as well, with each verse getting more and more of a build up as well as key changes... until finally the entire orchestra is singing out the melody of Amazing Grace. Then it gentles down and finishes how it starts, with the soundscaping.

Have fun listening, if you haven't heard of the song before, Google it and listen to the masses of versions going around, it's a beautiful song.

Thankyou for taking an interest into my music!
