More about this title

About the Artist: Adele

Adele's career trajectory from British jazz-influenced singer to global pop phenomenon makes her an unlikely but powerful entry point for string orchestras. Her songwriting emphasizes emotional clarity and harmonic sophistication, qualities that translate exceptionally well when arranged for acoustic strings.

Why we love this

String arrangers rarely get to work with material this emotionally direct. Larry Moore's version preserves the song's intimate vocal phrasing while giving string players genuine musical weight, making it accessible for Grade 3 and 4 orchestras without reducing the arrangement to filler. Your students will recognize the tune instantly, which means they can focus on ensemble blend and intonation rather than decoding unfamiliar melodic material.

What to expect

Intimate and unhurried, with the quality of someone speaking directly rather than projecting to the back of a hall. The arrangement lets silence breathe between phrases, giving your strings space to listen to each other and creating moments of real vulnerability.

Who it's for

String orchestras working at Grade 3 and 4 levels who want contemporary repertoire that sounds sophisticated without requiring advanced technique. This arrangement works equally well for academic ensembles seeking concert programming and for educators building confidence in younger orchestras through recognizable material.

How to get the most out of it

  • Establish the tempo early in rehearsal and maintain it consistently; the song's power depends on unhurried pacing over its 2:45 duration rather than rushing.
  • Balance the melody line between first violins and violas or cellos if the arrangement distributes it. String players often overshadow each other without conscious attention to voice independence.
  • Attend to sustained notes in the lower strings; even Grade 3 orchestras can achieve impressive resonance with focused bow control on half notes and whole notes.

How to use it

Pair this with a baroque or classical suite to contrast pop songwriting against instrumental tradition, or program it as a closer to a concert of contemporary hits for young ensembles. It also serves as strong audition material for students seeking to demonstrate musicality and line control on familiar melodic terrain.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustaining long tones with consistent tone quality and intonation
  • Balancing independent melodic lines while maintaining ensemble cohesion
  • Shaping phrasing and rubato within a modern song context
  • Reading and performing parts in multiple clefs (treble and bass)
