Monday Morning Music #14

“Amazing Grace”, as performed by Sufjan Stevens from CD 1 of his Christmas album:

(there’s a bunch of dead space at the end of the video for some reason)

Stevens’ Christmas collection is a 5-disc tome of original, classic and obscure Christmas music. He made one each year, originally intended just for friends and family, but eventually released them. Each year, the music becomes increasingly complex and polished. As you might guess from its bare style and simple harmonies, “Amazing Grace” is from the first year, but I think that’s for the best.

I own the five disc set. While some of the songs are overkill, there are still many gems, including this one, which is one of my top three from the collection.
