This is a fairly faithful big band adaptation of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David classic as sung by Dionne Warwick.  It is in the same key that Dionne sang it with a short two bar intro to establish key center.  16 bars have been added to the middle of the arrangment to accomodate a trumpet solo (written in the 4th trumpet part).  Alto 1 needs to double on flute (though the chart will still work if they can't).  Not too rangy in the trumpets or trombone--top trumpet note is a written B, top trombone note is a written F. This arrangement will be a great way to showcase a strong female singer.

Possibly Burt Bacharach's greatest song - made famous by the timeless recordings of Dionne Warwick and Aretha Franklin, I Say A Little Prayer was originally written by lyricist Hal David as a portrait of a woman whose lover is away fighting in the Vietnam War.  The backing arrangement and Warwick's and Franklin's vocals have helped make this an all-time classic.  All James Widden's arrangements are beautifully made and carefully edited so that players and listeners alike will get maximum pleasure from the performance.

When Burt Bacharach died in 2023, a lot of his songs were brought back into the public eye.  I was amazed by this one - originally written for and sung by Dionne Warwick, but with several other iconic performances including one by Cilla Black.  It has all of Bacharach's trademark melodic genius, coupled with an original and quirky rhythm that never quite settles where you think it's going to.  All James Widden's arrangements are beautifully made and carefully edited so that players and listeners alike will get maximum pleasure from the performance.

TYPE JOHN FRIES IN THE SEARCH BAR TO SEE ALL I HAVE TO OFFER. Thanks, John. Alfie is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David to promote the 1966 film Alfie. Cilia Black states that, rather than declining outright to record the song, she decided to set conditions: I said I'd only do it if Burt Bacharach himself did the arrangement, never thinking for one moment that he would. When the reply came back from America that he'd be happy to...I said I would only do it if Burt came over to London for the recording session. 'Yes,' came the reply. Next I said that as well as the arrangements and coming over, he had to play piano on the session. To my astonishment it was agreed that Burt would do all three. So by this time, coward that I was, I really couldn't back out. The song was a major hit for Cilla Black (UK) and Dionne Warwick (US).

Do you Know the Way to San Jose was written for Dionne Warwick and featured on her album Dionne Warwick in Valley of the Dolls in 1968. It became her biggest hit so far; selling over 3, 500, 000 copies worldwide and securing her first Grammy award, for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, in 1969. Warwick herself thought it was a dumb song.  

This arrangement for string quartet is a relatively straight-forward idiomatic transcription. Muted backings and pizzicato in the cello give an easy-listening feel. It is in the same tonalities as the original recording, so you could even play along with it for fun.

The level is on the easier side of advanced; quickly rehearsed by professional quartets and an accessible challenge for experienced students.

Enjoy!
