After he had survived a heavy sea storm, John Newton (1725-1807), captain of a slave ship, became a priest and from then on he fought for the abolition of slavery. During his tenure he wrote several hymns, of which Amazing Grace certainly is the best known. The melody assumedly derives from a song by the African slaves. Takashi Hoshide has written a compelling arrangement of this beautiful melody. Nachdem er einen heftigen Seesturm glücklich überlebt hatte, wurde John Newton (1725-1807), der bis dato Kapitän eines Sklavenschiffs gewesen war, Pfarrer und kämpfte fortan für die Abschaffung der Sklaverei. Während seiner Amtszeit schrieb er mehrere Kirchenlieder, von denen Amazing Grace sicherlich das bekannteste ist. Vermutlich stammt die Melodie von einem Lied der afrikanischen Sklaven. Takashi Hoshide schuf ein unwiderstehliches Arrangement für Blasorchester dieser schönen Melodie.Après avoir survécu une violente tempête en mer, John Newton (1725-1807), marin de commerce et capitaine de navire négrier, devient pasteur et lutte pour l’abolition de l’esclavage. Durant son ministère, il écrivit plusieurs hymnes, dont l’intemporel Amazing Grace. Il est fort probable que l’air vienne d’une mélodie chantée par des esclaves africains. L’arrangement de Takashi Hoshide est purement irrésistible. Dopo essere sopravissuto ad una violenta tempesta in mare, John Newton (1725-1807), capitano della propria nave e mercante di schiavi, divenne pastore e cominciò a battersi per l’abolizione della schiavitù. Scrisse diversi inni, il più celebre dei quali è Amazing Grace. L’aria è probabilmente ripresa da una melodia cantata dagli schiavi.

Jamaica is an island in the Caribbean. In 1494 it was discovered by Christopher Columbus, who used it as private property until 1509. After some skirmishes it fell under British rule and the sugar trade on the island flourished. After the abolition of slavery in 1834 it was only granted Home Rule in 1944, but it remained a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Whereas the export of cane sugar used to be Jamaica’s main export product for many years, nowadays music has taken over this role. At first American music used to be very popular on the island. Later, however, Jamaican musicians started to experiment and thus in the end created their ownmusical style called Reggae. Well-known Reggae musicians are Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. The most important instruments used in Reggae are the bass and the drums. Together they form the base for the style: the riddim. A bass drum accent on the second and fourth beat are characteristic of a typically reggae drum beat. To this syncopic patterns are often added. The rhythm guitarist plays chords in a characteristic Reggae rhythm, not on, but between the beats. Jamaica is een eiland in het Caribisch-gebied. Het werd in 1494 ontdekt door Christoffel Columbus, die het tot 1509 als privé-eiland gebruikte. Na enige schermutselingen viel het onder Britse heerschappij en bloeide de suikerhandel.Na afschaffing van de slavernij in 1834 kreeg het uiteindelijk pas in 1944 volledig zelfbestuur. Jamaica is lid van het Britse Gemenebest. Jaren na de suikerexport is op dit moment de muziek misschien wel het bekendsteexportproduct. Eerst was de Amerikaanse muziek erg populair op het eiland. Later begonnen de Jamaicaanse muzikanten zelf te experimenteren en ontstond uiteindelijk de Reggae. Bekende reggea artiesten zijn Bob Marleyen Peter Tosh. De belangrijkste instrumenten bij reggae zijn de bas en de drums. Samen leggen zij de basis voor de stijl neer. de riddim. Een bassdrum-accent op de tweede en de vierde tel, in plaats van de eerste enderde, zijn kenmerkend voor een typisch reggae-drumritme. Dit wordt vaak aangevuld met syncopische patronen. De slag-gitarist speelt de akkoorden in de kenmerkende reggaeslag, niet op maar tussen de tellen.
