This version of Amazing Grace is written in a jazz ballad style, making full use of typical jazzy reharmonisations. Make sure to play this with a relaxed beat, giving the harmony enough room to "breathe".
This is a string orchestra arrangement of the national anthem of the USA, The Star-Spangled Banner. This track will also be a useful guide-track for those interested in the string quartet arrangement, as they are virtually identical.

This string quartet arrangement of The Holly And The Ivy features many of the different textures that can be found in a string quartet. Cellists will enjoy this arrangement as there is a cello solo.

and Taxi. Written and performed by Lincoln Jaeger.
