The Fate of Ophelia — Big Band Arrangement by Johan Verhey
This song is the opening track and lead single from Taylor Swift’s album The Life of a Showgirl, released in 2025.
The title refers to Ophelia from Shakespeare’s Hamlet — the tragic figure who drowns after love, loss, and despair.
In Swift’s lyrics, the story is reimagined in a modern way: the narrator reflects on being “saved” by love from Ophelia’s tragic fate.
This big band version captures the lyrical mood in a rhythmic, accessible arrangement, ideal for high school big bands and young jazz ensembles.
Other arrangements of Johan Verhey:
* Ain't No Sunshine (Bill Withers)
* Another Day (Buckshot Lefonque)
* Back To Black (Amy Winehouse)
* Happy X-Mas - War Is Over (John Lennon)
* I Thought It Was You (Herbie Hancock)
* In Your Eyes (Peter Gabriel)
* Love Is A Losing Game (Amy Winehouse)
* Signed, Sealed, Delivered (Stevie Wonder)
* You Know I'm No Good (Amy Winehouse)
* You've Got A Friend (Carole King)
Note: The drum part in the score is a lead sheet, which is why there is no audible drum part in the sample recording.
