(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again (from Rocketman) (arr. Ed Lojeski): 2-Part Choral Octavo

Ed Lojeski's arrangement captures the emotional arc of this song without requiring advanced vocal technique or elaborate orchestration, making it accessible to developing ensembles while keeping the contemporary pop sensibility intact. The 2-part voicing allows you to program a recognizable film soundtrack moment that connects with student musicians who know the Rocketman film, creating genuine engagement with the material. This is the kind of piece that reminds singers why they love singing in the first place.

A song about self-acceptance that builds from quiet introspection toward something more affirming. The piece carries the warmth of a personal revelation, inviting singers to explore vulnerability before moving into moments of strength and resolution.

Choirs working with intermediate to early-advanced singers who want to perform contemporary repertoire with emotional weight. This works for secondary choirs, show choirs exploring pop arrangements, or any ensemble looking to build connections between film music and concert programming.

• Pay attention to the lyrical delivery in the verses; this song lives in conversational intimacy before it swells, so resist the urge to oversing early passages.
• The arrangement likely includes moments where the two parts separate emotionally or textually, so rehearse those transitions slowly to ensure both voices maintain their independence while supporting a cohesive whole.
• Study the film version to hear how Egerton approaches the vocal storytelling; his phrasing choices can inform where your singers place their breath and where they lean into the emotional content.

Position this as a bridge between classical and contemporary contexts, perhaps pairing it with other film soundtrack pieces or using it to open a concert that celebrates storytelling through music. It works particularly well in spring concerts where lighter, emotionally accessible material connects with audiences beyond traditional choral listeners.
