Amazing Grace

Traditional (American)

For tenor sax and piano

Written in B♭ major, range F4 to F5

A man who was once lost looks back in wonder at the grace that found him and has carried him safely through every danger. The words are by John Newton, a slave-ship captain who became a clergyman; this is E. O. Excell’s version of 1900, the one nearly everyone sings today.
