More about this title

About the Composer: Glen Ballard

Glen Ballard is a songwriter and producer whose work spans pop, rock, and R&B across multiple decades. He co-wrote "Man In The Mirror" with Siedah Garrett, crafting one of Michael Jackson's most enduring anthems about personal accountability and social change. Ballard's ability to write lyrics that resonate emotionally while serving memorable melodies has made his songs natural choices for choral arrangement.

Why we love this

Ed Lojeski's arrangement captures the song's driving momentum and inspirational core while remaining accessible for TTBB ensembles. The arrangement preserves the instantly recognizable melody and the song's message about personal transformation, giving your choir repertoire that feels both current and purposeful.

What to expect

Energetic and purposeful. The arrangement channels the song's iconic urgency while maintaining the introspective quality of its lyrics about personal change. You'll feel the forward momentum of a pop anthem paired with the vocal depth that a good choral setting provides.

Who it's for

TTBB choirs seeking pop repertoire with genuine substance. This arrangement works for high school and college ensembles, as well as community and semi-professional groups comfortable with contemporary styles.

How to get the most out of it

  • Find the groove early in rehearsal. The rhythmic precision of this pop arrangement relies on crisp articulation and unified ensemble pulse, so lock in the fundamental beat before layering in harmonic detail.
  • Balance the lead line carefully across your tenors and basses. Since the melody sits in varied registers depending on the voicing section, make sure each part can project its own material without dominating the overall sound.
  • Let the lyrics breathe. The introspective quality of verses contrasts sharply with the declarative power of the chorus, so shape your phrasing to honor both the reflective and motivational moments.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary or socially conscious repertoire for a concert that speaks to current student interests and values. Its recognizable melody and positive message also make it an excellent closer for pops or spring concerts where you want to send audiences out feeling inspired.

Skills your students will build

  • Rhythmic precision in pop and contemporary styles
  • Balancing melody and harmony across multiple voice parts in close ranges
  • Interpretive choices that honor both lyrical content and musical drive
  • Ensemble cohesion in music with strong stylistic personality
