More about this title

About the Artist: The Weeknd

The Weeknd is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and producer whose genre-blending approach has redefined contemporary pop music. His work spans R&B, hip-hop, synth-pop, and electronic production, characterized by atmospheric production, distinctive vocal textures, and emotionally complex storytelling.

Beyond chart dominance, his compositions demonstrate sophisticated harmonic thinking and arrangement sensibility that translate effectively to choral settings. His collaboration with Disney on "Nothing Is Lost" for Encanto marks his venture into film scoring, bringing that same attention to emotional depth and sonic detail.

Why we love this

Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the song's sweeping emotional arc while making it genuinely singable across four parts. The orchestration translates brilliantly to voices alone, with Brymer's careful voice leading ensuring that soloistic moments shine without drowning the ensemble.

What to expect

Cinematic and intimate at once. The piece builds from introspective vulnerability to an empowering emotional crescendo, with rich harmonic textures that feel both atmospheric and grounded. Brymer's writing creates space for breath and reflection while maintaining forward momentum.

Who it's for

Choirs seeking contemporary repertoire that bridges pop accessibility with genuine musical substance. This works for advanced high school groups, college ensembles, and community choirs comfortable with modern harmonic language and film music context.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the solo passages against the full choir. The arrangement likely features prominent melody in one or two voices; ensure accompaniment lines stay dynamically recessed so text clarity remains paramount.
  • Approach the harmonic movement with attention to resolution and voice independence. Contemporary pop arrangements often use suspended harmonies and unexpected chord movement that need precise tuning.
  • Shape phrases with the song's emotional narrative rather than mechanical phrasing. This arrangement serves a Disney film moment, so the arc from vulnerability to strength needs genuine expression from your singers.

How to use it

This sits naturally on a concert celebrating contemporary songwriting or film music. Consider pairing it with other pop arrangements or musical theater selections to create a thematically cohesive set that showcases your ensemble's versatility with modern idioms.

Skills your students will build
