Band concert band - Grade 4 SKU: KJ.B383
Composed by John Zdechlik. Score and set of parts. Neil A. Kjos Music Company #B383. Published by Neil A. Kjos Music Company (KJ.B383). This theme and variation is based upon the well-known hymn Amazing Grace. The first variation states the melody playfully in the piccolo and trumpet parts. The second variant is more angular and powerful and takes the theme through more dissonant harmonic configurations. In the third variant the theme is stated in the low reeds and is surrounded by a potpourri of trills, glissandos and other dissonant effects. The last section combines variations and builds to a dramatic finale.
