Thread Name: Is 'Amazing Grace' a Celtic song?
Subject: RE: Is 'Amazing Grace' a Celtic song?
Is Amazing Grace in 3/4? I know the chart hits in the 70's were but I heard a wonderful story about a pipe band gathering where Amazing Grace waschosen as an en masse tune. Most of the bands played 3/4 but one band tutored by a traditionalist played a setting in 4/4 so unwaveringly that all the other bands fell apart.
