The scene starts with a single singer standing among a crowd of more than 200 bagpipers. The moments of silence slowly turn into his solo rendition of a gentle, baritone Amazing Grace. His voice is captivating as each verse is sung into the echoing arena. Many people commented they were moved to tears and had chills by his ending note.

The singing stopped, and a single bagpipe player continued the tune. Playing “Amazing Grace” on his bagpipe player at the same calm and slow pace that the singer had taken as well. The spotlight shone down as everyone’s focus shifted from the vocal performance to this musical rendition of the beloved hymn.

As the camera panned between different views of the musicians, viewers can see the stoicism and pride on each performers’ face. The sheer volume of the bagpipes added to the power of the song.

And slowly, performers marched in with torches lit with bright fire surrounding all the performers. As the camera provided an overlooking view of the performers, the visual effect was stunning.

 

After the performers were done, the audience clapped and cheered. The people carrying the flaming torches turned around and exited the stage as gracefully as they had entered. The atmosphere remained solemn to give the audience a chance to reflect on the robust performance they had just witnessed.
