About the Arranger: Ed Lojeski

Ed Lojeski is a prolific arranger whose work spans choral, instrumental, and vocal jazz contexts. His arrangements are known for balancing accessibility with musical substance, making them reliable choices for school and community ensembles seeking quality repertoire that doesn't demand virtuosic skill to execute effectively.

Lojeski's catalog demonstrates deep understanding of how different voicings and textures serve both the singers and the listener. His facility with popular song material and contemporary idioms has made him a go-to arranger for directors building programs that engage audiences and students alike.

Why we love this

Lojeski captures the comedic timing and swagger of a contemporary pop song while keeping the vocal writing singable and the arrangement genuinely fun to perform. This is the kind of piece that energizes your singers and gets laughs from the audience, which means it earns its place in your concert without feeling like filler.

What to expect

Irreverent and energetic. The music captures the lightness and forward motion of a modern pop song, with enough harmonic color to feel substantial while staying unpretentious. It's the musical equivalent of a knowing smile.

Who it's for

This octavo works for high school, college, and adult choirs looking for a contemporary secular piece with personality and accessibility. It's equally suited to concert settings where you need something that appeals to audiences and feels fresh alongside more traditional repertoire.

How to get the most out of it

  • Control the rhythmic pocket in the accompaniment track. Even though the text invites a casual, spoken attitude, the ensemble needs to lock into the harmonic rhythm so the humor lands cleanly.
  • Shape the dynamics in your section work before full rehearsals. Lojeski's voicing creates natural resonance, but you'll serve the comedy best if each part knows exactly when to push and when to pull back.
  • Commit to characterization in the delivery. The text works because singers inhabit the attitude, not because they're trying to be clever. Coach your choir to own the sentiment genuinely.

How to use it

Place this as a set closer or mid-concert palate cleanser to remind your audience that choral music can be direct and entertaining. The contemporary idiom and secular text make it an excellent choice for pops concerts, informal performances, or any program where you're deliberately mixing repertoire styles.

Skills your students will build

  • Rhythmic precision in contemporary pop idiom
  • Balancing blend and articulation across parts

  • Part independence in homophonic textures
