"Amazing Grace" is a famous Christian hymn, written by the English clergyman John Newton in 1779. Newton was born in 1725 in England and he went to sea at age 11 and because a slave in Africa at the age of 21 after his shipmates kicked him off their ship and gave him to a slave trader. He was rescued and shipped back to England at age 25. A storm at sea changed his life. He became a captain of slave ship at age 25 He got a fever and was blind for four months from a stroke at the age age of 29 and retired from the sea. He became a tax collector in Liverpool at age 30. He finally became minister at the age of 39 in the Church of England, after being turned down by the Methodists and Presbyterians When he was 43 started he started writing hymns. He wrote “Amazing Grace” at age 54 but it’s first title was “Faith Review and Expectations” He died at age 87. Amazing Grace has been recorded over 7,000 times, including Elvis. It is estimated to be sung over 50 million times each year. It is included in more then 1,300 hymnals of many denominations in the United States today. The Library of Congress has over a thousand versions of “Amazing Grace” In the 1950s Amazing Grace because popular to play at funerals because it was both sad and spiritually uplifting at the same time. It is almost always performed by a piper playing bagpipes at the funeral of a police officer or firemen killed in the line of duty in the United States. Why bagpipes ? In the 1850s Irish immigrants became police and fireman in New Yorkcity in large numbers because those were some of the only jobs open to them. The Irish traditionally played bagpipes at funerals. so when an Irish policeman or fireman died, a piper played Amazing Grace, and the tradition continues even today. Most pipers now play Scottish bagpipes, because they're louder than the Irish pipes. My performance features Irish pipes and Scottish bagpipes, played on my Yahama Tyros 5 keyboard.
