By Diana King. By Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Arranged by Daryl McKenzie. Disco,Film/TV,Pop,Soul. 58 pages. Daryl McKenzie #1077128. Published by Daryl McKenzie (A0.1501175)."I Say a Little Prayer" - Vocal with Big Band Arrangement
Channel the soulful energy of Diana King with this vibrant Big Band arrangement of "I Say a Little Prayer," designed for Vocal with full Big Band. Set in the key of Em, this arrangement captures the upbeat, dance-infused style that made King's version a hit, while offering the rich, full sound of a Big Band.
In 1997, Jamaican singer Diana King released a cover of "I Say a Little Prayer" as the first single from her second album, Think Like a Girl. The song gained widespread popularity after being featured prominently in the hit comedy My Best Friend's Wedding. The Love to Infinity dance remix of King's cover further popularized the song on radio, and it is this infectious, high-energy version that serves as the basis for this arrangement.
Instrumentation includes 5 Saxes, 4 Trumpets, 4 Trombones, Piano, Keyboards (Strings), Guitar, Bass, Drums, and Percussion, providing a dynamic and versatile accompaniment for the vocalist. The arrangement is also playable with reduced instrumentation, making it adaptable to different band sizes without sacrificing its lively feel.
