About the Arranger: Ed Lojeski
Ed Lojeski has built a career arranging for choirs and instrumental ensembles, with a particular gift for adapting popular music and film scores into singable, engaging works. His arrangements consistently balance accessibility with musicality, making them favorites in concert and show choir settings.
Why we love this
Lojeski structures this medley into three distinct sections, giving you real flexibility in how you use it. You can perform the whole thing as a spectacular 17-minute arc or pull individual sections for shorter programs, and the orchestrations respect both the iconic melodies and your choir's actual capabilities.
What to expect
Stepping into a Disney film with your choir. The arrangements capture the scale and warmth of these beloved scores while keeping the focus on your singers; there's sparkle here without pretension, humor without condescension, and genuine emotion that resonates across generations.
Who it's for
Choirs with mixed abilities and access to a rhythm section or accompaniment tracks will find this medley rewarding. It works equally well for high school show choirs, community theater productions, and concert choirs looking to program something audiences recognize and love.
How to get the most out of it
- Establish clear sectional transitions by mapping out which songs anchor each of the three sections; rehearse the bridges between them until they feel inevitable rather than stitched together.
- Lock in the rhythmic groove during the funk-tinged moments like "Hakuna Matata" and "We're All in This Together" with your rhythm section so the choir can relax into the pocket instead of fighting for the pulse.
- Lean into the emotional shifts: let the tenderness of "Beauty and the Beast" breathe before diving into the energy of "Circle of Life," and trust Lojeski's arrangement to telegraph these changes.
How to use it
Build your entire second half around this medley, or extract one or two sections to anchor a "Movies and Broadway" concert theme. Its 17-minute span makes it substantial enough to justify a full rehearsal cycle, and audiences expect Disney music to be the emotional and entertainment centerpiece of any program that includes it.
Skills your students will build
- Sustained legit vocal tone across multiple style shifts (Broadway belt to sustained ballad)
- Navigating key changes and modulations within a single extended work
- Ensemble balance when one section of the choir carries the melody while others provide harmonic support
- Interpreting style markings that shift from rhythmic and percussive to lyrical and sustained
- Tracking multiple melody lines and countermelodies without losing the overall medley structure
