More about this title
About the Artist: Pasek Paul
Benj Pasek and Justin Paul have become two of Broadway's most prolific songwriting teams, with credits spanning The Greatest Showman, Dear Evan Hansen, and La La Land. Their gift for writing accessible, emotionally resonant melodies has made their work a staple in music education settings. Songs like "Never Enough" demonstrate their skill in crafting hooks that lodge themselves in listeners' ears while maintaining genuine theatrical substance.
Why we love this
Young bands light up when they recognize the melody, and that immediate connection transforms a rehearsal into genuine engagement. Johnnie Vinson's arrangement respects both the song's emotional core and the technical realities of Grade 2 players, giving everyone meaningful material without sacrificing the rock style that makes this song irresistible.
What to expect
The arrangement captures the song's soaring optimism and vocal warmth, translating Broadway theatricality into instrumental terms that feel immediate and modern. Your band will experience what it means to perform contemporary popular music with the same care and intention you'd bring to a standard band arrangement.
Who it's for
Grade 2 concert bands ready for an accessible popular music that still demands musicality and attention to style. Directors looking for repertoire that connects with students' lives outside the concert hall will find real value here.
How to get the most out of it
- Shape the melodic lines with consistent phrase breathing; this song lives in its vocal contours, so honor the natural singing quality of the arrangement across your sections.
- Lock the rock rhythm section early in your rehearsal process. The groove won't feel effortless if your drums and low brass are still finding their pocket in the final weeks.
- Balance the dynamics carefully so the melody soars without drowning the supportive harmonies. Many young bands tend to play everything at the same volume level; this arrangement rewards careful dynamic shaping.
- Reference the original recording to understand the song's character and energy level. Your students will play with more conviction when they're channeling something authentic rather than treating it as just another arrangement.
How to use it
Consider pairing this with other film and musical theater selections to create a "Movies and Musicals" concert that appeals to a broad audience. It works equally well as a spring concert showcase piece or as part of a pops program where crossover appeal matters.
Skills your students will build
- Stylistic interpretation in a contemporary rock idiom
- Phrase shaping and dynamic control in a non-traditional band context
- Melodic clarity and balance when performing accessible popular material
- Rhythmic precision within a groove-based groove-based arrangement
