This full orchestral arrangement of Stevie Wonder’s iconic Sir Duke captures the infectious energy, joyful spirit, and unmistakable groove of the original hit. With vibrant brass lines, tight rhythm section writing, and rich harmonic textures, the piece brings a fresh symphonic dimension to this funk-soul classic.
Perfect as a lively opener or an upbeat encore, the arrangement is designed to showcase the brilliance of each section of the orchestra while maintaining the song’s irresistible rhythmic drive and celebratory tone. A crowd-pleasing highlight for intermediate to advanced ensembles, it offers both stylistic challenge and pure musical fun.
This arrangement is created for symphony orchestra but with flexibility to omit some instruments in the woodwind and brass. Both the harp and keyboard parts largely double the main material and can also be omitted.
The Drum Set line is offered as a guide and percussion sections are encouraged to improvise their own rhythm, textures and sounds to match the spirit of the music.
The Solo Trombone section from bar 6 can be performed on other brass instruments. Alternative parts are available.
The repeated 4-bar section at bar 70 is an opportunity for individuals to improvise on the theme of Sir Duke accompanied by the rest of the orchestra.
