The Grace of Gilead arr. by Nancy A. Norman

This wonderful fresh and lyrical setting of two favorite hymns will instantly engage and inspire the listeners. It is mostly rung with nicely placed LV passages and includes singing bells and suspended treble bells as it segues to the Amazing Grace tune. The lovely melodies are accompanied by chord progressions that are subtly unique yet engaging and very satisfying. It is especially lovely in that it was written in memory of Arnold Sherman and Gloria Woods. This is sure to become a favorite for your group and congregation alike.
