SKU: EC.1.3593

Composed by Kyle Pederson. Octavo. Galaxy Music Corporation #1.3593. Published by Galaxy Music Corporation (EC.1.3593).

UPC: 600313135934. English. The Gospel of John.

This work has the ethos of a spiritual, with the text inspired by "Amazing Grace" but not specifically using that text in sequence except for the title riff which reoccurs throughout the piece. It invites the singer and audience to consider the power of grace. The choir affirms that no trouble, no shame, no valley is too deep for the healing gift and power of soul-freeing grace. The music has a driving quality, with the choir occasionally backing up the soloist with humming, quick commentary, or a sustained neutral syllable. Unusual and energetic.
