More about this title
About the Artist: Adele
Adele's rise from London soul singer to global phenomenon offers a masterclass in emotional authenticity. Her powerhouse voice and gift for writing deeply personal songs have made her one of the best-selling artists of the 21st century, with multiple Grammy Awards and chart records across genres.
In the concert band context, Adele's music opens doors for arrangements that bridge contemporary pop with instrumental ensemble performance. Her songs reward careful attention to lyrical phrasing, dynamic control, and the kind of expressive musicianship that translates beautifully when adapted for winds and percussion.
Why we love this
Michael Brown's arrangement captures the emotional weight of these three hits while keeping the writing accessible for Grade 3 ensembles. Audiences light up when they hear a contemporary pop medley played with genuine musicianship, and this collection lets your band deliver exactly that. The 4:30 duration makes it perfect for a substantial standalone moment or as a crowd-pleasing centerpiece in a mixed concert program.
What to expect
These arrangements blend pop sensibility with concert band color, giving familiar melodies new life through brass swells and woodwind textures. The medley format creates momentum across emotional peaks and valleys, moving from the driving intensity of "Rolling in the Deep" through the reflective clarity of "Someone Like You."
Who it's for
Directors looking to program contemporary music that engages both performers and audiences without sacrificing musical substance. High school and strong middle school concert bands will find the Grade 3 difficulty level manageable while still feeling rewarding to play.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the melody across different sections as it passes from trumpets to saxophones to woodwinds. These songs live or die based on how smoothly the story transfers between voices.
- Find the legit vulnerability in the slower sections, especially in "Someone Like You." Resist the urge to push the tempo; let the band breathe with the emotional content.
- Lock the rhythm section early and keep it tight throughout. The groove matters as much in a concert hall as it does on the recording.
- Shape phrases with dynamic intention rather than playing straight through climbs. Your audiences know these songs and will respond to thoughtful articulation choices.
How to use it
Position this medley as your program's popular music statement. It works equally well as the opener that captures attention or the closer that sends audiences out humming. Pairing it with one contrasting classical or jazz selection creates a programming arc that shows your ensemble's range.
