More about this title
About the Artist: Ed Lojeski
Ed Lojeski has shaped the sound of contemporary Christian music through his arranging and producing work, particularly in bringing gospel and inspirational repertoire to choral ensembles. His arrangements balance accessibility with musical substance, making spiritually resonant material engaging for singers across skill levels.
Lojeski's partnership with composers like Andrae Crouch has resulted in choral settings that preserve the character of the original while opening these songs to broader performance contexts. His work reflects a deep commitment to helping choirs express faith through music without sacrificing musicianship.
Why we love this
Lojeski's arrangement captures the warmth and conviction of Crouch's original while structuring it for real choirs to deliver with confidence. The combination voicing keeps the texture accessible without flattening the emotional arc, and the 3:10 length sits in that perfect sweet spot for concert programming. Singers genuinely want to return to this one because the melody feels owned by their voices, not borrowed from a recording.
What to expect
The piece radiates gratitude and affirmation. Singers experience the combination of accessible melodic writing with genuine harmonic substance, creating moments where individual voices feel part of something larger than themselves. The arrangement gives you room to breathe while maintaining forward momentum.
Who it's for
This works for mixed-voice ensembles seeking repertoire that connects spiritually and musically. It's equally at home in church services, concert settings, or festival programs where contemporary Christian music reflects your ensemble's identity.
How to get the most out of it
- Lean into the lyrical phrasing rather than rushing the harmonic resolutions; this arrangement rewards breath control and line awareness.
- Balance the ensemble so the testimonial quality of the text comes through; blend serves the message here.
- Use the recorded accompaniment to lock the structural landmarks, but encourage singers to breathe together as a unit rather than following the track rigidly.
- Shape the dynamics around the theological arc of 'glory' rather than building mechanically; let the meaning guide your interpretation.
How to use it
Consider pairing this with other Andrae Crouch settings or contemporary inspirational works to create a thematic arc within a concert. It also serves well as a closer for any program emphasizing faith or gratitude, where its brevity allows other pieces room to develop.
Skills your students will build
