樂曲解說

《奇異恩典》是一首創作於1779年的基督教聖詩，歌詞是由一位英國詩人兼牧師約翰‧牛頓（John Newton, 1725–1807）所作，創作的靈感來自於他在奴隸船工作時，曾聽過非洲奴隸哼唱過的曲調。內容讚頌上帝的恩典是何等奇特美好，赦免人們的罪過，使迷失的人們找回自己的道路。由日本作曲家波田野直彥改編為管樂團演奏曲，有慢速的寧靜樂段，也有活潑的爵士風格樂段。

‘Amazing Grace’ is a Christian hymn composed in 1779. The words were written by the English poet and Anglican clergyman John Newton (1725-1807), which was inspired by the African spiritual while involving in the slave trade. The text is praising the mercy of God that the sins are to be forgiven, finding their path for those who had lost. The version was adapted to concert band by Japanese composer Hiko Hatano. The transcription contains slow passages and lively Jazz style.
