More about this title

About the Artist: Adele

Adele emerged as one of the defining voices of the 2010s with her massive commercial success and critically acclaimed albums. Her 2011 release "21" became a cultural phenomenon, dominating charts worldwide and establishing her as a songwriter capable of crafting both intimate ballads and anthemic pop songs that resonate across generations.

For choral directors, Adele's work presents a compelling opportunity to engage students with contemporary repertoire that feels relevant without sacrificing musical substance. Her melodies are strong and memorable, her lyrics emotionally direct, and her songs reward thoughtful interpretation.

Why we love this

Mac Huff has distilled the emotional core of "21" into a cohesive medley that gives your singers access to some of the decade's most recognizable and singable pop songs. The medley format lets you showcase multiple hits without programming an entire concert of single pop arrangements, making this a smart choice for variety in mixed programming or as a standalone contemporary moment that audiences will actually know.

What to expect

Sophisticated pop sensibility meets choral warmth. The arrangements honor Adele's original production values while creating ensemble moments that feel organic rather than forced, giving singers the satisfaction of performing songs that shaped the cultural conversation.

Who it's for

Directors seeking contemporary material that lands with students and audiences alike. This works for groups comfortable with pop voicings and production styles who want to expand beyond classical and jazz standards.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the lead vocal line carefully in each section; these melodies are distinctive enough that they deserve space without drowning out the harmonic support underneath.
  • Pay attention to the emotional arc across the medley's transitions. The shift between songs offers a chance to reset the energy and keep momentum alive rather than treating this as disconnected snippets.
  • Shape phrases with the natural speech patterns of Adele's original vocals in mind. These aren't classical lines; they breathe more conversationally than a traditional choral arrangement might suggest.

How to use it

Feature this as a concert centerpiece when you want to acknowledge contemporary music without veering into novelty territory. It can anchor a pop or musical theater themed concert, or serve as a carefully chosen contrast within a more traditional mixed program.

Skills your students will build

  • Interpreting melodic phrasing based on pop vocal style rather than classical technique
  • Balancing lead and supporting vocal lines in pop arranging contexts
  • Navigating medley structure and emotional transitions between connected sections
  • Ensemble cohesion across multiple song contexts with different harmonic languages
