Radio Ga Ga (arr. Ed Lojeski): 2-Part Choral Octavo

Ed Lojeski's arrangement captures the infectious energy of the original while making it accessible for developing singers. A 2-part voicing opens the piece to mixed choirs where you might otherwise skip over rock repertoire, and the arrangement preserves the immediate hook that makes this song unforgettable.

Propulsive and celebratory, with the kind of immediate gratification that comes from singing a real hook. The arrangement respects the original's infectious rhythm while creating space for singers to feel the joy of harmony without technical overwhelm.

Directors working with mixed choirs or treble ensembles who want to program contemporary material without sacrificing musicianship. This arrangement welcomes less experienced singers into a piece they already know, building confidence and engagement in the rehearsal room.

• Emphasize rhythmic precision in the call-and-response moments; the power comes from unison clarity, so lock the articulation across both parts before layering dynamics.
• Balance the familiarity of the melody against the need for vocal control; students will want to belt, but shaping phrases with breath awareness keeps the performance musical rather than shouty.
• Use the accompaniment to anchor ensemble confidence early, but push toward independence once parts are secure so the choir can own the energy.

Pair this with other pop or rock arrangements to create a concert segment that energizes the audience and your singers alike. It works particularly well as a closer or as part of a set that bridges classical and contemporary styles, giving your choir permission to have fun while demonstrating their range.

• Rhythmic precision in syncopated pop idioms
• Balancing belting technique with vocal sustainability
• Ensemble blend in 2-part textures
• Call-and-response phrasing and dynamic shaping
• Confidence singing contemporary material with harmonic sophistication
