More about this title
About the Artist: Adele
Adele has become one of the most significant recording artists of the 21st century, known for her powerful contralto voice and emotionally direct songwriting. Her work across multiple genres, from soul and pop to film soundtrack contributions, has made her music accessible to diverse audiences and programming contexts in schools.
Why we love this
Jay Bocook's arrangement captures the cinematic scope and emotional weight of the original without sacrificing the song's contemporary appeal. The Grade 3-4 level makes this sophisticated material accessible to developing bands, while the inherent drama in the melody and harmony keeps rehearsals engaging and the final performance genuinely compelling.
What to expect
Brooding and cinematic, with an undercurrent of tension that feels sophisticated without becoming heavy. The arrangement balances introspection with moments of dramatic swell, creating a piece that captures the mystique of a James Bond theme while remaining rooted in the song's intimate vocal core.
Who it's for
Marching bands at the Grade 3-4 level looking for contemporary music with genuine musical substance. This arrangement works equally well for groups seeking film and pop crossover repertoire or directors wanting to expand beyond traditional marching fare.
How to get the most out of it
- Shape the opening phrases with restraint; the power of this arrangement lives in its controlled dynamics and careful phrasing rather than immediate volume.
- Balance the melody line across sections during tutti passages to maintain the song's lyrical quality even when full band is playing.
- Treat the accompaniment figures as support for the main idea; resist the urge to let rhythmic patterns overshadow the vocal line that drives the piece.
How to use it
Program this as a striking contrast to traditional military marches or classical selections in a concert or field show. Its modern sensibility and recognizable melody make it an effective audience connector, while the musical demands keep student musicians invested throughout the season.
Skills your students will build
- Sustaining lyrical phrasing in a contemporary context
- Controlling dynamics within a full ensemble texture
- Reading and executing rhythmic syncopation typical of pop-influenced arrangements
- Balancing melody and harmony in a non-traditional marching band setting
