Composed by Lyrics by John Newton - Original Music by William Walker. Arranged by John R. Daniels. This edition: pdf, streaming. Christian, Folk, Jazz, Spiritual, Traditional. Octavo. 9 pages. John R. Daniels #115553. Published by John R. Daniels (A0.503419).Now I See is an intriguing Jazz treatment of Amazing Grace in 5/4 time for an Advanced Intermediate SATB Choral Group. The song is probably familiar to many but it has some very distinctive characteristics about it that make this arrangement shine:
* Close harmonies, enough to be interesting but not too austere.
* Alternate rhythms, The whole piece is in 5/4. But, even with that, there are some places where one or more voices precedes the others in stepped entrances.
* While Sopranos and Tenors share singing the melody, the other parts are busy providing some interesting support, often changing chords under the melody note.
* Bright key change. It changes from G to A, an exhilarating sound without reaching too far.
This piece is great for concert, contest, and worship.
Since the accompaniment can be a little tricky, there is a separate piano part to reduce the number of page turns. And, because it is a jazz piece, it also has guitar chords for a somewhat advanced guitarist.
