Adele: Songs From The Album 21: Choral Instrumental Pak

This medley taps four of Adele's biggest hits from an album that dominated the charts and earned critical respect, giving your choir access to music your students actually want to sing. Mac Huff's arrangement balances contemporary pop sensibility with choral writing that feels natural rather than retrofitted, and the included rhythm parts transform these songs into a fully realized production without requiring live musicians.

Intimate vulnerability colliding with stadium-sized hooks. These songs cycle between raw emotional confession and anthemic uplift, asking your singers to find both the delicate detail and the confident power within each phrase. The medley format lets you paint a portrait of resilience and transformation across nine and a half minutes.

Any choir wanting to program contemporary music that connects with student singers and audiences alike. This works equally well for concert choirs seeking a show closer, show choirs looking for accessible pop repertoire, or less experienced ensembles drawn to music they know and love.

• Pay attention to the vocal layers in each song. The arrangement likely uses divisi moments that create the production polish of Adele's original recordings, so ensure each section owns their part rather than doubling unison lines.
• Control the tempo relationships between songs. A 9:30 medley lives or dies by smooth transitions, so rehearse the interludes and key changes as carefully as the melodic moments.
• Let the rhythm section guide your ensemble's pocket. The synth, guitar, bass, and drums provide the heartbeat of these arrangements, so your choir needs to lock into that groove rather than drive ahead of it.
• Shape the dynamics across the full medley arc. Since you're moving through four distinct emotional territories, use quieter moments and bigger moments strategically so the final songs land with maximum impact.

Close a spring concert with this medley if your program opens with classical or jazz selections; the shift in energy and style will feel intentional rather than jarring, and audiences leave remembering the contemporary closing song. Alternatively, position it mid-concert as a tonal pivot point between concert fare and lighter material, letting it serve as your bridge to a different musical world.
