It's a great arrangement, and Amira 's high notes are stunning. Just 13 y o. The Scots seem to have taken possession of this song ever since the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards had a number 1 hit with it back in the early 70s. Other countries do have bagpipes too, it's not exclusively a Scottish thing. Two of my favourite Amira songs are Gesu Bambino, informal recording, and the Ave Maria, Gomez from 2015. Both stunning performance's that are worth viewing. Of course there ae many others, the live in concert Nella Fantasia for example. Don't mind what you choose though.
Hello Paul and Fillipe ! That was a beautiful reaction to this Amira's masterpiece. By the way, I don't think she just picked this melody at random.. Indeed, Amazing Grace's lyrics were written in 1772 by John Newton, an English slave trader who became a minister of the Anglican Church and a noted abolitionist. In the 19th century, the hym become popular in the United States among Methodists and Baptists. The current tune was composed by the American musician William Walker in 1835. In the 30's, a Gospel version was played more and more, and in the 50's, it began to be performed at funerals, but also during the Civil Rights Marches. Among others, Joan Baez sang this. The first version of Amazing Grace with the Scottish bigpipes was interpreted by the "Pipes and drums and military band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards" in april 1972. This instrumental rendition was based on a record a capella made by the American folk singer Judy Collins in the late 60's. But in 1972 this hymn was almost forgotten in Great Britain, so it seems really difficult to explain why this Edinburgh band decided to choose it for his first vinyl record. The regiment was awarded a Gold disc in the same month. So, thanks to Amira to do justice to this iconic song with her angelic voice !
Great, Paul! They forgot to tell Amira that it's impossible for a 13-year-old girl to sing like that and project those super high notes towards the end. So as nobody told her, she did it. 😄

Great reaction. Amira makes me feel in heaven. This was an epic performance.
She is always the best to me

If you look at her dress is is the same print at the Scottisch skirts.
tengo que comentar que amira necesita mas amplitud de imagen en el video y no asi los presentadores. hay que saber mantener un nivel.
