Composed by Stevie Wonder. Arranged by David Reaston. This edition: pdf. Contemporary, Jazz, Soul. Jazz Combo. 13 pages. David Reaston #1446058. Published by David Reaston (A0.1887407).A fresh contemporary jazz and groove-based arrangement of “I Gotta Have a Song” for voice and non-standard ensemble (two trumpets, alto saxophone, trombone, guitar, bass, and drums).
Designed for mixed-ability secondary and tertiary ensembles, this arrangement reimagines the original through adaptive voicing, layered textures, and tightly integrated groove-based writing. Musical roles are redistributed across the ensemble, allowing horns, guitars, and voice to share harmonic, rhythmic, and melodic functions, resulting in a cohesive and highly interactive group sound.
Accessible yet musically engaging, the chart supports ensemble awareness, stylistic authenticity, and the development of individual musical identity within a collaborative setting.
Ideal for programs seeking contemporary repertoire that bridges soul, funk, and jazz styles while working effectively with expanded or non-standard instrumentation.
Full score and parts included.
