More about this title
About the Artist: Stevie Wonder feat. Ariana Grande
Stevie Wonder stands as one of the most influential musicians of the past fifty years, a multi-instrumentalist and composer whose work spans soul, funk, pop, and jazz. His harmonic sophistication and rhythmic invention have shaped multiple generations of musicians across genres. Ariana Grande emerged as a dominant pop voice in the 2010s, known for her four-octave range and interpretations of contemporary R&B and pop material. Her collaboration with Wonder on "Faith" brings a fresh vocal dynamic to his songwriting while honoring the soul and funk traditions that inform both artists' work.
Why we love this
Paul Murtha's arrangement captures the infectious energy of the original while building a complete ensemble sound that gives every section meaningful material. The trumpet solo space provides an ideal vehicle for your strongest lead player without overshadowing the groove that makes this tune work. Students connect immediately to music from Sing, and this version rewards the band with a chart that feels contemporary and funky without requiring advanced harmonic reading.
What to expect
The track pulses with purposeful energy, driven by a rhythmic foundation that commands your musicians to sit deep in the pocket. Horns enter with character and forward motion, creating the kind of modern soul groove that reminds listeners why funk and jazz remain inseparable.
Who it's for
Jazz ensemble directors seeking accessible, engaging material that connects with student musicians while maintaining solid arranging craft. Bands at the Grade 3 level will find the parts lie well without extreme register demands, and students benefit from playing a song they already know from a beloved film.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the drum kit and bass line first; the groove is the foundation, and rhythm section precision makes everything else land harder.
- Balance the horn section to support the soloist during that spotlight moment; the parts underneath should frame rather than compete.
- Commit fully to the rock attitude without losing the soul feel; this arrangement lives in the space between precision and swagger.
- Treat tempo consistency as essential; even small fluctuations will expose the ensemble if the underlying pulse isn't ironclad.
How to use it
This works beautifully as an opener or closer on a jazz concert, especially one celebrating popular music or film music alongside traditional standards. Consider pairing it with other contemporary arrangements to show how film and pop repertoire can meet the same musical standards you expect from your jazz curriculum.
Skills your students will build
- Pocket playing and subdivision feel in a rock-soul context
- Balancing ensemble blend within a funk-based harmonic framework
- Trading and responding as a horn section to solo content
- Reading and executing syncopated rhythms in a contemporary pop arrangement
