About Amazing Grace

Words: John Newton (1779)

Tune: "New Britain", American folk hymn (1829)

Amazing Grace sets John Newton's words, printed in 1779 in Olney Hymns, to New Britain, an American folk hymn tune. The tune's earliest known printing is in Columbian Harmony, in 1829, a book whose notes have shapes that show their place in the scale. It uses only five different notes. This arrangement is the first verse for 2 to 4 singers, a gentle first harmony: the alto moves a third or a sixth beneath the tune on almost every note, the tenor holds almost every note on G, and the bass holds the low notes on "oo".
