More about this title
About the Artist: John Legend
John Legend has become one of contemporary music's most recognizable voices, building a career on emotionally direct songwriting and sophisticated vocal performances. His work spans R&B, pop, and soul, consistently reaching audiences across genres and age groups. In educational settings, his music offers accessible entry points into contemporary composition while maintaining genuine musicality and emotional depth.
Why we love this
Larry Moore's arrangement captures the intimate warmth of the original while giving string orchestras genuine musical material to sink their teeth into. The Grade 3-4 scoring achieves real sophistication without becoming a transcription problem, making it equally rewarding for developing orchestras and experienced ensembles looking for contemporary repertoire that resonates with audiences.
What to expect
The arrangement preserves the song's emotional sincerity, translating Legend's vocal phrasing into string textures that feel both intimate and lush. You'll find yourself drawn into the melody's natural contours, with harmonic support that never overshadows the expressive core of the piece.
Who it's for
String orchestras at the intermediate level who want to program accessible contemporary music that engages audiences beyond the traditional concert repertoire. This works equally well for high school and middle school ensembles seeking material that feels current without compromising musicianship.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the melodic line so it sings above the harmonic foundation. String players often default to accompaniment roles in pop arrangements; encourage them to listen for where they own the tune.
- Shape phrases through dynamics rather than tempo shifts. Subtle crescendos and diminuendos create the emotional arc that makes this piece work.
- Let the legato breathe. Resist the urge to rush through sustained passages. The arrangement's effectiveness depends on allowing silence and space between phrases.
- Align vibrato across sections, particularly in the violins. Consistency in tone production strengthens the ensemble's blend and gives the arrangement polish.
How to use it
Pair this with a concert program mixing classical and contemporary works to demonstrate how strong arranging transcends genre boundaries. The piece fits naturally into spring concerts, wedding or ceremony programs, or any concert theme built around contemporary vocal music.
Skills your students will build
- Sustaining legato phrases with attention to direction and shape
- Reading and executing dynamic changes that serve harmonic function
- Blending harmonies across sections in close-voiced writing
- Interpreting contemporary music with the same musical depth applied to standard repertoire
