Shape of My Heart – Sting

for Big Band

This chart came about after a friend had wanted to sing it in big band. The chords are naturally brilliant already, so the guitar part is left as it is. To make the arrangement more big bandy, the arrangement is in a bossa style, and also includes a short band introduction.

The vocal part isn’t included here, but it follows the structure of the original recording from measure 16. It’s also a half-step down to make it a more manageable key for the horns.
