By Stevie Wonder. By Stevie Wonder. Arranged by Alex Sjobeck. This edition: pdf, streaming. Funk, Jazz, Pop. 61 pages. Alex Sjobeck Music #1463867. Published by Alex Sjobeck Music (A0.1905713).Commissioned for the Boise State University Jazz Orchestra, this contemporary big band arrangement of “Summer Soft” by Stevie Wonder blends lush harmonic writing, atmospheric textures, and modern funk influences into a deeply expressive concert feature.
Beginning with a spacious chorale and evolving into layered grooves, the chart explores a wide dynamic and emotional range while remaining true to the warmth and sophistication of the original song. Rich ensemble colors, flugelhorn textures, Rhodes-inspired keyboard writing, and carefully crafted orchestration create a cinematic listening experience that rewards both performers and audiences.
Designed for advanced high school, collegiate, and professional ensembles, the arrangement features expressive ensemble writing, groove-based interplay, evolving backgrounds, and opportunities for soloists within a modern jazz framework. The rhythmic feel draws from straight-eighth contemporary jazz and funk styles while maintaining a fluid, organic pacing throughout.
A compelling and emotionally resonant addition to any concert program, this arrangement offers a fresh and artistic take on one of Stevie Wonder’s most beautiful compositions.
