God only knows.  It's a serviceable, if not very original, arrangement of "Amazing Grace," a great tune, for sure.

The pianist could be anyone from George Bush to my great Aunt Fannie. 

My favorite version of it is the one sung "a cappella" by Meryl Streep in an early Mike Nichols film, "Silkwood."

Google around for what must be a billion arrangements of this fine tune.  You'll find better ones than the one you stumbled upon.

Better yet, make your own arrangement.
