More about this title
Why we love this
Brown knits together five songs of vastly different origins—Cohen's folk meditation, Elton John's defiant arena rock, Stevie Wonder's funk grooves, and contemporary pop sensibilities—into a coherent five-minute arc that never feels scattered. The medley respects each song's character while maintaining forward momentum, and the Grade 3 orchestration keeps every section engaged without oversimplifying the harmonic language.
What to expect
Infectious and emotionally generous. The medley celebrates resilience and joy across five different musical languages, moving from intimate and introspective to swaggering and triumphant. Your band will finish energized, and your audience will leave smiling.
Who it's for
Bands seeking contemporary, film-based repertoire that connects with younger students without condescending to them. Directors who want a crowd-pleasing concert piece that showcases diverse musical styles and demands solid fundamentals across all sections.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the vulnerability of "Hallelujah" against the celebratory energy surrounding it. This brief moment needs space to breathe before the next section rushes in.
- Lock the groove in "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing." The syncopated rhythms need a steady pulse underneath to land the funk feel; if the rhythm section drifts, the pocket dissolves.
- Feature your soloists in "Faith" prominently. The Stevie Wonder/Ariana Grande combination carries real star power, and your band will respond to giving those moments prominence.
- Press the tempo slightly as you move from "I'm Still Standing" into the final section. The building energy should feel inevitable, not forced.
How to use it
This works brilliantly as a spring concert opener or closer, particularly in programs where you're mixing classical repertoire with film and popular music. The five-minute duration slots perfectly into a varied concert that needs accessible energy alongside more challenging works, and the Sing film connection gives families a shared reference point.
Skills your students will build
