I have enjoyed a wonderful day in Marietta, GA with my mother. She is an Il Divo fan. According to their website…” Il Divo were initially brought together by pop impresario Simon Cowell in 2004, following an extensive worldwide audition process. The virtuoso blending of operatic technique with romantic and popular song took the world by storm, with sales of over 22 million. Their first three albums, ‘Il Divo’, ‘Ancora’ and ‘Siempre’ scored 36 number 1 chart positions across 26 countries.”
She called me not too long ago and asked if I would accompany her to the concert. I was overtaken with the invitation. We sat third row back in the first balcony. They performed at the Fox Theatre, one of the nations most historic theaters. Just walking into that place was breath taking. Their arrangement of Amazing Grace was stunning. I will add two songs for your enjoyment.
The Amazing Grace arrangement is embedded on Youtube and not able to be copied. However, I want you to see it. Double click on the Amazing Grace piece and you will be directed to Youtube where you can see it…unbelievable!
It was a wonderful evening together. I am grateful.
Just wanted to thank you and your mother for making my morning devotional time more special with this beautiful music.
Thanks again,
Jeanette
