Choral Choir,Choral (SATB) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.844244 By John Coltrane. By John Coltrane. Arranged by Gerhard Guter. Jazz. 10 pages. Gerhard Guter #4267419. Published by Gerhard Guter (A0.844244). If you’re looking for an up-tempo, minor blues swing with plenty of space for scatting and instrumental improvisation, then dig P.C.! This arrangement of the John Coltrane classic, which pays tribute to legendary jazz bassist and Miles Davis compatriot Paul Chambers, provides an exciting introduction, statement of the theme in varied textures, a challenging (optional) soli, and room for lots of energetic drum solos. Following an introductory figure reminiscent of Miles Davis and Victor Feldman’s well-known Seven Steps to Heaven collaboration, the arrangement features two optional background choruses to keep the blowing fresh and interesting. After the improvisation, the drums and piano drop out, sending off a challenging, optional soli (18 second mark in demo) featuring a doubled, walking vocal and acoustic bassline. As this section concludes, the acoustic bass drops out and the drums re-enter, propelling a fugal statement of the melody (25 second mark in demo). Following a return to the head, the arrangement modulates upward by whole step to its exciting conclusion. Piano, bass, and drums read off the included composite rhythm section part. The arrangement, which makes prominent use of sharp ninth chords during the head, is a great teaching tool for basses and altos in any vocal jazz ensemble!

Octavo. 10 pages. Flying Baton Publications #5204085. Published by Flying Baton Publications (A0.965385). While this arrangement can be performed as an instrumental, it was conceived as the hymn was originally intended: for congregational worship, and includes lyrics for multiple verses. This arrangement keeps things very clean and simple, respecting the solemn simplicity of the salvation message of grace, and while the soaring counter-melody stirs hearts to new heights, it does not detract from the stark beauty of this timeless melody, making this arrangement very appropriate for both regular worship and for use in a funeral service.Amazing Grace can also be found in my collection of hymn arrangements--The Solid Ground - Volume 3, also for sale on Sheet Music Plus: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/the-solid-rock-volume-3-digital-sheet-music/21673337?ac=1. Volumes 1 and 2 are also available on this site.
