Description
From Adele's third album, this record-setting power ballad took the pop charts by storm and helped put the British singer back in the spotlight. This arrangement for vocal soloist (opt. alto sax) is beautifully paced, starting with just piano accompaniment then gradually building intensity as the full band joins in.

More about this title
About the Artist: Greg Kurstin
Greg Kurstin is a producer and songwriter whose work spans pop, rock, and alternative music. His production credits include work with major contemporary artists, and his ability to craft songs that balance commercial appeal with genuine musicality has made him influential in modern songwriting and arrangement.
Why we love this
Paul Murtha's arrangement respects the emotional core of the original while giving your ensemble genuine work to do. The gradual textural buildup from solo voice and piano through the full band creates natural dramatic momentum, and the Grade 3-4 level means you can actually execute the nuance without sacrificing the song's power.
What to expect
A moment of quiet reflection that gradually opens into something bigger. The piece carries the vulnerability of the original ballad while allowing the ensemble to add warmth and color, creating an arrangement that feels earned rather than imposed.
Who it's for
Jazz ensembles looking for contemporary material with genuine emotional substance. This works for groups that include capable singers or strong alto saxophone players, and for directors who want to program something students recognize without sacrificing musical integrity.
How to get the most out of it
- Start the piano accompaniment with restraint; the intimacy of the opening section sets up the full band's entrance effectively. Rushing the early sections diminishes the impact of what comes later.
- Balance the vocal soloist carefully against the ensemble once instruments join. The voice should remain the primary focus even when the full arrangement is present.
- Pay attention to dynamic shifts between sections. Each time new instruments enter, there's an opportunity to shape the overall sound rather than simply getting louder.
- If using alto saxophone for the melody line instead of a vocal soloist, maintain the vocal quality of the original; this is a lyrical statement, not a technical display.
How to use it
Consider pairing this with other contemporary ballads or acoustic arrangements to create a thematic set focused on emotional storytelling. The song's universal recognition makes it effective for concerts aimed at broader audiences, and its moderate difficulty lets you devote rehearsal time to expression rather than mechanics.
Skills your students will build
- Controlling dynamics across full ensemble without sacrificing clarity
- Responding to a soloist's phrasing and breathing
- Balancing textural changes as instruments enter and exit
- Executing stylistic interpretation of contemporary pop material
