A surprise awaits the audience as this famous, beloved melody takes on a completely different flavour as a feature for your young bassists! With a hint of jazz, the bass section learns walking bass lines. All sections remain in first position, with one half-step shift in the bass part. Most well-known as the melody to "Amazing Grace", the origins of this folk tune are lost in the mists of time. It most likely comes from Appalachia in the United States, though it has been given many titles over the centuries. This setting, as Amazing Bass, may surprise the audience and provides the perfect way to feature the bass section, as Bob Phillips arranges another highly playable bass feature.
