There must be hundreds of ways to sing Amazing Grace....the stanzas are written A B A B format. There is the Gilligan’s Island theme adaptation or House of the Rising Sun which was popular in the late 70’s early 80’s. I discovered it could be sung to the tune Edelweiss...(using the “when we’ve been there 10000 years” as the final coda finale). It’s interesting because depending on the tune used... the emotive effects could be either chintzy or quite profound!

PS. Amazing grace: It can even be sung to Dvorak’s symphony...”From the New World”...final movement!

Fascinating! Never knew that. I will have to listen differently next time I hear it. Thanks.
