Awarded Song of the Year at the 1985 Grammy Awards, Cyndi Lauper's timeless ballad, "Time After Time," is still as poignant as ever. The song was a success on the charts as well; it became her first number-one single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart on June 9, 1984 and remained there for two weeks. With its gentle groove and positive message, this classic tune arranged by Patrick Roszell will make a great addition to your pop or spring concert program, even graduation.

More about this title

About the Composer: Rob Hyman

Rob Hyman co-founded the new wave band The Psychedelic Furs and became one of the most sought-after songwriting partners in 1980s pop music. His gift for crafting hooks that lodge themselves in the listener's mind made him instrumental in creating some of the decade's most enduring songs, including this collaboration with Cyndi Lauper that won Grammy recognition and spent weeks at the top of the charts.

Hyman's work demonstrates a deep understanding of melody and emotional restraint. Rather than relying on complexity or flash, his arrangements and compositions create space for singers and ensembles to breathe, a quality that translates beautifully to concert band settings where clarity and heartfelt delivery drive the impact.

Why we love this

Patrick Roszell's arrangement preserves everything that made the original memorable, the gentle, propulsive groove and that achingly simple melodic line, while writing idiomatic parts that young musicians can actually sink their teeth into. At Grade 2.5, the band sounds polished and emotionally present without requiring technical pyrotechnics. Directors appreciate that the arrangement respects the ballad's intimacy rather than overselling it.

What to expect

Quiet and purposeful. The arrangement has an unhurried quality that feels more like watching a sunset than chasing one. There's genuine tenderness in the harmony and pacing, and the gentle forward motion of the rhythm keeps things from sagging even at its slowest moments.

Who it's for

Bands working at Grade 2 and Grade 3 levels, especially those seeking approachable pop or contemporary music that connects with students and audiences alike. This arrangement works well for programs that want to include a moment of reflection or sincere emotion without venturing into heavy dramatic territory.

How to get the most out of it

Shape the melody with longer phrase arcs rather than metronomic exactness. This piece breathes; let the ensemble respond to the lyrical contour even without lyrics present.
Balance the ensemble so supporting voices don't overshadow the main melodic line. Young musicians often play at the same dynamic across parts; spend rehearsal time teaching them to listen and adjust.
Attend to the groove's pocket. The arrangement sits comfortably at an easygoing tempo, and the rhythm section's steadiness is what allows the melody to float on top.

How to use it

Consider pairing this with other pop classics for a spring or end-of-year concert that celebrates contemporary songs rather than traditional repertoire. Its reflective mood also makes it a fitting choice for graduation ceremonies or senior recognition events where an emotional note lands differently than a purely celebratory march or fanfare would.
