More about this title
About the Arranger: Ed Lojeski
Ed Lojeski has shaped the sound of contemporary choral music for decades, with a gift for translating theatrical energy into arrangements that work for mixed ensembles. His arrangements respect the original material while understanding what makes music singable and dramatically effective in a concert setting.
Why we love this
Lojeski captures the driving momentum and character moments that made the original score unforgettable, distilling seven iconic numbers into a medley that builds naturally rather than lurching between hits. The combo voicing keeps things flexible for groups that don't need full SATB, and the contemporary styling stays true to the movie's energy without feeling dated.
What to expect
You're onstage during a choreography audition, watching dancers and stories flash by in real time. The music pulses with personality, shifts mood with each number, and builds toward an emotional crescendo that lands hard. It's theatrical without being campy, contemporary without losing warmth.
Who it's for
Choirs ready to program Broadway material with contemporary flair, especially those with strong rhythm sections and singers comfortable with theatrical delivery. This works well for groups seeking rep that connects with modern audiences while maintaining musical substance.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the character vignettes in 'At the Ballet' and 'Let Me Dance for You' so individual voices cut through without disrupting ensemble cohesion.
- Treat the rhythm section as essential architecture, not accompaniment; lock tempo and articulation choices early so the choir can sit confidently into the groove.
- Find the emotional arc across all seven numbers by mapping dynamics and intensity as a single 11.5-minute arc rather than seven separate pieces.
- The transition between numbers matters as much as the numbers themselves; rehearse continuity and how each musical idea sets up the next.
How to use it
Perfect as a concert closer or act finale, especially in a Broadway-themed concert or a spring show that needs to feel current. Pair it with other Lojeski arrangements or stage it with simple choreography to heighten the theatrical impact.
