More about this title
About the Arranger: Ed Lojeski
Ed Lojeski stands among the most prolific and performed choral arrangers in American music education. His arrangements span popular songs, film scores, and Broadway numbers, and his deep understanding of how ensembles work shines through in every voicing decision. Lojeski has shaped countless concert seasons and helped generations of singers experience contemporary music at the highest level.
Why we love this
Lojeski distills five iconic songs into a single narrative arc that feels inevitable rather than patchworked. The arrangement respects the melodic brilliance of each tune while maintaining forward momentum across the full 8+ minutes, giving your singers a satisfying dramatic arc that keeps an audience engaged from Arabian Nights through A Whole New World.
What to expect
Cinematic sweep meets choral warmth. The medley carries you from the exotic mystery of the marketplace to the intimate wonder of a magic carpet ride, with humor and heart woven throughout. Each moment lands distinctly, yet the whole flows like a mini concert within itself.
Who it's for
Choirs seeking substantial, engaging repertoire that connects with audiences of all ages without sacrificing musicianship. This works equally well for high school mixed ensembles, college community choruses, and church music programs wanting accessible contemporary material.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the ensemble sound during Friend Like Me, where the genie's comedic energy requires precise rhythmic clarity without letting the choral parts swamp the text.
- Shape the transition into A Whole New World with a deliberate tempo adjustment and dynamic shift to signal the emotional pivot from adventure to intimacy.
- Let Prince Ali breathe with orchestral swagger; support the ShowTrax accompaniment rather than pushing against it, and trust the arrangement's inherent energy.
How to use it
Build a full concert around Disney and film music, positioning this medley as your centerpiece number that audiences recognize and love. The variety of tempos and moods also makes it an excellent closing piece for a mixed repertoire concert, leaving listeners humming as they leave.
Skills your students will build
- Stylistic interpretation across contrasting musical moods (exotic, comedic, lyrical, triumphant)
- Diction clarity in rhythmically complex passages, especially during rapid text
- Ensemble balance when melodic content shifts between sections
- Sustaining vocal line integrity across an extended medley without fatigue
